Naples firm discovers niche in helping health care providers keep medications from the wrong hands

During her many years at IBM, Jacqueline von Zwehl worked on and led teams worldwide tasked with developing technology-driven solutions to help health care providers comply with laws and regulations like the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). An assignment that took her to France opened her eyes to the different ways other countries handled pharmaceutical security, and she began to see an opportunity back home.

“I learned there were smarter, better, more efficient ways to do things,” says von Zwehl, 46. “I came back to the U.S. and started mulling over things. And I said ‘I think there might be a smarter way to do this, a smarter way to bring affordable pharmaceutical security solutions to our health care providers.’”
