Background

About Simone Thornton

As a healthcare and clinical operations professional with over a decade of experience, I specialize in optimizing site activation, patient coordination, and regulatory compliance to ensure timely and efficient project delivery. My expertise lies in translating complex regulatory and payer requirements into streamlined workflows that protect timelines, reduce risk, and support organizational goals. Currently at IQVIA, I lead site activation activities across multiple clinical studies, ensuring compliance with global regulations and SOPs while driving process improvements that shorten cycle times and enhance stakeholder collaboration. My background at Duke Health, PPD, Workplace Options, and United Healthcare has provided a broad foundation in financial coordination, medical information management, benefits advocacy, and cross-functional team leadership. I am pursuing a Master of Science in Health Information Management to further strengthen my ability to lead in data-driven, compliance-focused environments. With a proven record of improving processes, advancing regulatory readiness, and supporting patient access to care, I am committed to aligning operational excellence with strategic healthcare objectives.
