Veeva Systems

Veeva, a cloud computing company focused on the life sciences industry, serves more than 600 companies in that industry, including some of the world's largest pharmaceutical companies. It sells its services as a way to speed the process of getting new treatments to patients who need them. Founded in 2007 by Peter Gassner, Veeva reported $195.5 million in sales for the first quarter of 2018, a rise of 22% year over year. In a major expansion, Veevo introduced Veeva Nitro, a commercial data warehouse, which Gassner says provides customers a foundation for “advanced analytics and AI.”
