In 2020, Fingerpaint Group partnered with the San Francisco–based private equity firm Knox Lane to accelerate its trajectory through organic growth and strategic partnerships. Since then, Fingerpaint Group has experienced exponential growth in its roster of capabilities, customers, and talent.

"This acquisition significantly enhances Fingerpaint Group's Market Access Center of Excellence (CoE) and underscores our unwavering commitment to providing best-in-class solutions for the pharma industry," said Bill McEllen, Global President of Fingerpaint Group.

BlackPoint Consulting Group has a combined 30+ years of leadership experience and works with more than half of the top 10 global pharma companies. With a strong foundation in management consulting, commercial compliance, and operational excellence, BlackPoint brings strategic expertise to Fingerpaint Group's already robust portfolio of solutions.

"Since 2020, Fingerpaint Group has been developing a market-leading suite of capabilities, and we are thrilled to now be a part of it," said John Richardson, Principal and Co-founder of BlackPoint Consulting Group. "Joining Fingerpaint Group will also provide us with the opportunity to offer our clients access to top-tier experts across other critical areas of the commercialization process, including Fingerpaint Marketing, Fingerpaint Medical, and Fingerpaint Branding." 

Fingerpaint Group's Market Access CoE offers extensive, end-to-end expertise throughout the product life cycle.
