Our Story

LIFE SCIENCES TECH FOUNDERS

A decade ago, after leaving PRA Health Sciences, our CEO Chuck Piccirillo teamed up with co-founder Casey Bennett to bootstrap Zealic Health.

After years of building enterprise systems in life sciences and healthcare—applying technology as a vehicle for transformation—he wanted to return to his true passion: product development in this space. Where Chuck brings vision, innovative thinking, and a systemic perspective, Casey complements him with a background in biochemistry, hands-on expertise in eClinical implementation for clinical trials, and a rare mix of operational discipline and creativity.

VARIABILITY-AT-SCALE: SOVLED

We began with bespoke product development projects—technology products and solutions that required a high degree of adaptability across their bespoke usage. No surprise, as it was—and still is—the reality for most software applied to clinical trials, brands, patient support programs, and the like.

Again and again, our backgrounds led us toward creating configuration tools to remove the burden, optimize the process, and ensure our customers get exactly what they need, without delay. Over time, we unified these acceleration tools into what is today pulse.ZHI™, our life sciences bespoke builder.

NEXT LEVEL CAPABILITIES & SOLUTIONS

Along the way, we built more than technology: mentoring new talent in the lost art of software engineering and raising our collective capability to go beyond code.

Enter a world where "yes" replaces "tradeoffs" and "impact" reigns over "project constraints"— made possible by a powerful, adaptable, extensible, and sophisticated platform. And not just for “apps,” but complex, integrated, multi-portal, workflow-driven solutions. This foundation has powered targeted solutions like SupportOrchestrator™ and VisitOrchestrator™ with ease.

TURBOCHARGED WITH AI

When AI entered the scene, our disciplined process and well-engineered platform made adoption natural. With surprisingly few adjustments, we began turbo-charging both our development cycles and our platform itself. Today, we are AI-powered, with our intelligent fabric, cortex.ZHI™, woven across everything we do. It fuels our products, accelerates our builds, and enables a small, mighty team to deliver at a scale that rivals teams four times our size.

Our Mission

A decade has passed in a flash, but our journey is only beginning.

We’re driven by the same principle that started it all:
helping sponsors, sites, and patient programs cut through complexity and chaos—enabling them, and the patients they serve, to experience different.
