Moss Adams Announces Leadership Transition for its Life Sciences Practice

SEATTLE, July 26, 2016— Moss Adams LLP, one of the largest accounting and business consulting firms in the nation, appointed Rich Croghan as national practice leader of its Life Sciences & Medical Devices Practice.

“This is a great opportunity and a logical next step in my work serving life sciences clients,” said Croghan, a partner with Moss Adams for over a decade. “This is an exciting time for our life sciences practice. The industry in general—and our practice in particular—has seen extraordinary growth the past few years. With a great mix of public and private company clients, we are well positioned for continued growth.”

Croghan’s career in public accounting spans more than 25 years and has been devoted to serving the tax and consulting needs of clients in life sciences, health care, and technology industries. At Moss Adams, he has held leadership positions in all three of these areas.

“We’re fortunate to have such a capable professional take the reins of this complex practice group,” said Chris Schmidt, chairman and CEO of Moss Adams. “Combined with his industry knowledge and prior leadership experience, his commitment to strategic problem solving makes him exactly the type of person this role needs.”
