Nova Outsourcing Management is a results-driven global provider of clinical strategic outsourcing solutions and vendor management, focused exclusively on supporting small biotech and biopharma companies. Led by seasoned industry professionals Julia Love and Murtza Naseem, Nova brings deep, practical experience from both the sponsor and CRO sides of the industry — enabling biotech teams to make smarter outsourcing decisions and reduce the friction of contracting and oversight.
In launching Nova, Julia and Murtza are going back to basics: helping biotech companies maximize their investments and accelerate their clinical portfolios through innovative outsourcing strategies, win-win negotiations, and hands-on vendor management. With first-hand insight into both sides of the outsourcing equation, the Nova team understands how to balance sponsor priorities with vendor capabilities — and how to drive partnerships that work.
