Fingerpaint Group, a Cedar Knolls-based independent health care agency and life sciences commercialization platform, on Tuesday announced two key executive appointments designed to strengthen its unified operating model. Stephanie Spicer has been named group managing director, operations, and Nick Megjugorac has been appointed chief strategy officer.
Both leaders will report directly to Group President Mark Willmann.
Spicer, a nine-year veteran of the firm, is tasked with expanding the operational framework she pioneered within the Marketing Services division across the entire enterprise. Her mandate includes the deep integration of AI into the group’s operational fabric to increase efficiency and allow teams to focus on high-value strategic work.
“The job hasn’t changed—clear process, clear ownership, and teams focused on the work and the clients,” Spicer said. “What’s different now is the space AI creates to rethink how we work entirely. When you put that alongside a platform like ours, what becomes possible for clients is genuinely exciting.”
Megjugorac, who has spent nearly eight years driving commercial strategy within the group, will now guide strategic direction for the full organization. This move elevates the CSO role to an enterprise level, ensuring a cohesive strategic point of view across the group’s Marketing, Medical, Branding, and Market Access solutions.
“A unified strategic point of view means our partners get solutions that hold up under pressure,” Megjugorac noted. “That’s how we sustain the competitive advantage we’ve built and compound it as we scale.”
Fingerpaint Group’s recent growth has seen it partner with 95% of the top 20 global pharmaceutical companies. Notably, two-thirds of these partners now engage multiple solutions across the Fingerpaint platform, signaling a shift toward integrated commercialization needs.
“We have the platform, the clients, and the momentum,” Willmann said. “What Steph and Nick bring is the organizational architecture to make sure all of it works together. They are exactly the right leaders for this to happen.”
