The Lockwood Group Announces Launch of Dedicated Market Access Company, Nexus Health Group

Stamford, CT – March 5, 2025—The Lockwood Group (“Lockwood”), an industry leader in scientific-based medical communications for the pharmaceutical, biotech, and medical device industries, announced today the launch of a market access-focused subsidiary, Nexus Health Group (“Nexus”). This strategic growth enhances the company’s capabilities in delivering innovative and effective healthcare communication solutions to clients worldwide.

Nexus will provide an integrated, simplified approach to comprehensive market access strategies, offering solutions in strategic consulting, value communications, and patient access and affordability. Building on Lockwood’s deep scientific expertise, Nexus will layer on extensive market access experience in complex therapies to provide the strategic advantages manufacturers need to differentiate their products in today’s marketplace.

Nexus’s strategic consulting solutions received a significant boost from Lockwood’s acquisition of Advantage Point Solutions (“APS”) in 2024. APS, a highly respected strategic market access consulting group that has been operating for over a decade and focuses on clinical positioning, pricing and contracting, and account management services, will now fully integrate into Nexus’s comprehensive market access solutions.

“The acquisition of APS and the launch of Nexus represent significant growth milestones for The Lockwood Group,” said Matt Schecter, Founder and Chief Executive Officer. “By enhancing and relaunching our service offerings in market access, we are better equipped to meet the evolving needs of our clients and continue our mission of delivering high-quality, scientifically rigorous communications for all audiences.”

Andrew Gottfried is the founder and Chief Executive Officer of Nexus Health Group, initially leading a team of approximately 30 strategic consultants, clinical and payer strategists, creatives, and account managers. Gottfried previously led Entrée Health, a market access communications agency, for over 18 years before leaving in 2024.

“Nexus may be a new company, but our team is not new to market access,” said Gottfried. “I feel so fortunate to be launching this new organization with some of the most experienced and brightest minds in market access. With a fresh approach, rooted in science, we expect our impact on the market to be pronounced.”
