Philadelphia, PA, May 24, 2018 — PM360, the premier information resource for marketing decision makers in the pharmaceutical, biotech and medical device sectors, has named Olivier Chateau, CEO & co-founder of Health Union, LLC as one of the 2018 PM360 ELITE 100 in the Entrepreneurs category. Now in its fourth year, the PM360 ELITE (Exceptional • Leaders • Innovators • Transformers • Entrepreneurs) represent the most influential people in the healthcare industry today.

Chateau’s vision and desire for innovation is a driving force behind Health Union’s platforms, services and solutions. He leverages extensive commercial knowledge of the healthcare market to develop unique opportunities that connect patients, professionals and industry partners to improve health decisions. Chateau’s passion and enthusiasm for Health Union are contagious, inspiring the team to think bigger, be creative and do what hasn’t been done. His favorite saying, which is written on the wall of Health Union’s office, is “If you believe your dreams are achievable, they are too small. Dream bigger.”

“When Olivier and I started Health Union eight years ago, we believed that there was a way to inspire people with chronic conditions to live better by harnessing the power of social media and technology,” said Tim Armand, president and co-founder of Health Union. “It’s incredible to see our vision come to life owing largely to Olivier’s passion, talent and leadership, which has inspired our entire team to find innovative ways to meet people where they are in their patient journeys.”

The PM360 ELITE Awards were established in 2015 to recognize individuals who have made a significant impact on the healthcare industry throughout their careers. More than 500 submissions were received, and nominees were evaluated based on their accomplishments; testimonials from their bosses, clients and colleagues; and supporting evidence that reflects the impact of their efforts. A total of 100 winners were selected across 17 categories: Creative Directors, Data Miners, Digital Crusaders, Disrupters, Drug Researchers and Developers, Entrepreneurs, Launch Experts, Leaders of the Future, Marketing Teams, Master Educators, Mentors, Patient Advocates, PR Gurus, Sales MVPs, Strategists, Tech-know Geeks, and Transformational Leaders.

“The 2018 ELITE 100 include remarkable individuals and marketing teams who have made their mark on this industry and are helping to push it forward with new ideas, outstanding leadership and incredible work,” said Anna Stashower, CEO and publisher of PM360. “We are proud to call them ELITE, and we expect even more great things from them in the future.”
