About Fernando

Fernando Ortega is a Houston native and bilingual business development specialist who bridges the gap between clinical research sites, pharmaceutical sponsors, and the patients who need access to cutting-edge treatments.

With a unique background spanning both healthcare and marketing, Fernando brings a genuine understanding of what research sites need to succeed—not just more patients, but the right patients who meet complex eligibility criteria and are committed to completing studies.

His approach combines old-school relationship building with modern digital outreach strategies. Fernando believes that clinical trial recruitment is fundamentally about trust—helping patients understand their options while helping sites meet their enrollment goals.

Fluent in both English and Spanish, Fernando is particularly passionate about improving clinical trial access for underserved Hispanic communities, ensuring that cutting-edge treatments reach the patients who need them most.
