Advanco Appoints John F. Jordon As CEO

John brings more than 35 years of engineering and executive leadership experience from the aerospace, automotive, software, and computing sectors to Advanco. A licensed professional engineer, John was an early pioneer in pharmaceutical serialization, notably contributing to the serialization of Pfizer’s Viagra in the mid-2000s—one of the industry’s most recognized implementations. Prior to his appointment as CEO, John served as advanco’s Chief Customer Officer, and before that spent over eight years as the President of Vantage Solutions before it was acquired by advanco.

As CEO, John will oversee advanco’s strategic vision and global operations. He will lead advanco’s expanding portfolio of global clients, ensuring the development and delivery of secure, future-focused serialization solutions.

John is a fierce proponent of Serialization 2.0., a concept that is already having a significant impact and one that is expected to shape the overall pharma serialization sector of the future.

John Jordon will oversee advanco’s strategic vision and global operations as the Serialization 2.0. era continues to shape the global pharma sector.

Advanco is a portfolio company of Parabellum Investments, the family office of founder and CEO, Rami Cassis.

Serialization 2.0, as defined by advanco, encourages companies to use standard, rather than proprietary, components to build open, interoperable, and scalable architectures. It places more emphasis on PLC control over IPCs, makes better us of data collection and calls for an increased use of AI and predictive analysis. As the hardware upgrade cycle approaches, this will enable pharmaceutical clients to benefit from the most innovative serialization systems available at a reduced total cost of ownership.

John Jordon, advanco CEO, commented, “Advanco is already recognized as a trusted serialization partner by pharmaceutical manufacturers and packaging providers across the world. However, as the future of serialization continues to take shape within the pharma sector, we are committed to ensuring clients can rely on the most cost-effective, intuitive and scalable serialization solutions available anywhere in the market, both today and in the future.”
