“Peter has a proven track record of rapidly building market value through growth, pipeline development and operational excellence,” said Stonehaven Consulting Partner, George Gunn.
“He has used his experience in human pharma to approach animal health business from new perspectives, and thus develop unique and effective solutions. He is perfectly aligned with the Stonehaven vision.”

The new appointment is part of an on-going expansion of Stonehaven Consulting, said Matthias Hofer, Managing Partner of Stonehaven Consulting.
“Our clients include a wide range of companies, such as animal health start-ups and top tier players, as well as private equity, financial and banking sectors. Each of these has the same basic needs, but also requirements that are very particular to their different specialties.
“We operate in an increasingly dynamic global animal health industry, and our teams and strategies are continually evolving to ensure we always reflect the changing needs of our clients.”
Mr McCarthy holds a degree in Applied Biology, has served as a Member of the Board of the International Federation for Animal Health Europe, and the International Association Executive Animal Health Study Center, CEESA, based in Belgium.
