Oak Hill Capital and life sciences industry leader Dan Renick team up to create new organization offering integrated commercialization solutions.

NEW YORK, Feb. 1, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Oak Hill Capital, a New York-based middle-market private equity firm, announced today that it has partnered with Dan Renick to launch Petauri Health ("Petauri" or "the Company"), a purpose-built pharmaceutical commercialization services platform. Petauri Health, based in New York, New York, will seek to acquire and combine best-in-class companies with recognized expertise in global market access, medical affairs, patient services, and data and analytics. The resulting Petauri platform will strive to seamlessly support clients with data-driven, digital-forward solutions that speed patient access to life-changing care. Oak Hill aims to deploy in excess of $250 million of equity capital from its latest fund (OHCP VI) behind this initiative over time.

As CEO, Renick brings more than 28 years of healthcare knowledge, executive leadership and commercialization expertise to the newly formed Company.
