Most of this work happens one conversation at a time: naming the role someone is actually aiming at, finding what is missing, and giving them a way to show the rest. The platform exists because that conversation does not scale on its own.
TRUVAN
Capability is the true advantage.
TRUVAN helps clinical research professionals build the capability a role requires, demonstrate it through practical work, and carry the evidence with them. It helps employers make better workforce decisions by reviewing demonstrated evidence rather than claims alone.
TRUVAN was founded by an operator, not an observer.
What started as one-to-one coaching for healthcare professionals moving into clinical research has grown into a capability platform. To date, that work accounts for 300+ direct and indirect placements across pharma, biotech, CROs and academic medical centres.
Capable coordinators sat unhired because nothing about their experience could be checked quickly. Hiring managers screened for risk. Sponsors paid for the delay. Everyone was working with resumes and hope.
TRUVAN exists to end that. Diagnose the starting point, build the capability the role requires, demonstrate it through casebooks and assessments, and let the professional carry the evidence.
A coordinator with eight years on oncology protocols still starts each contract by emailing certificates. Sites wait. Trials slip. Nothing about the delay makes the work safer.
Standing belongs to the professional, not to a vendor database. We help people find the right pathway, build role relevant capability, and demonstrate it through practical work.
Every record is built to survive audit: dated, attributable, and current. If a credential lapses, the record says so the same day.
TRUVAN was built by Rudy Malle, a clinical operations professional who has worked across trial sites, CROs and global pharmaceutical companies, as a Clinical Research Coordinator, CRA, Lead CRA, Project Manager and Director. The assessment model is new. The domain expertise behind it is not.

Programmes are designed and delivered by Rudy Mallé, an IAOCR Accredited Clinical Research Trainer.
Founder and lead capability strategist
Rudy Mallé was born and raised in Cameroon, and that global perspective still shapes the work. His clinical research career started at a small research site in Queens, New York, learning the craft one protocol, one patient visit and one regulatory binder at a time.
From there he moved to world class institutions including Weill Cornell Medicine, Northwell Health and NewYork-Presbyterian, working across oncology, diabetes, respiratory, cardiology and rare disease. Those years built a deep appreciation for how trials actually run at the patient level.
He then crossed to the sponsor and CRO side in clinical operations and project management roles at Dendreon, ICON and IQVIA. Over 15+ years he has seen clinical research from nearly every angle: entry level monitoring to senior leadership, site to sponsor, single study to global programme.
Along the way he earned Q-IAOCR accreditation from the International Accrediting Organization for Clinical Research, an IAOCR accredited clinical research trainer delivering career focused education. TRUVAN exists because the structured, expert guided path into this industry did not exist when he was starting out.

Janee Jones
Pivoted from clinical practice into the pharma industry
May 2026
Pharmaceutical industry
I didn't have to apply to a single job, research a single company, or look up a single interviewer on my own. Everything was handled. The program is comprehensive and stress-free — while still holding participants accountable.
Shanna Carter
Role secured after the 10-Week Accelerator

Clinical research
Two weeks after completing the 10-Week Intensive program, I received a job offer after seven months of unemployment. Now I'm interviewing for a higher-paying lab manager role.
DD De zoysa
Sponsor-side role (moved from site CRA)
Feb 2026
Sponsor
After many failed attempts, I signed up for the 90-day program. I was specifically impressed by the way he makes you prepared for interviews. That was my turning point in getting an offer in less than 60 days.
Silpa K
Clinical Research Coordinator

Research site
Through multiple mock interview sessions, I successfully secured a position as a Clinical Research Coordinator. Success is a collaborative effort — consistent effort and active engagement are essential.
Sylvie Kwedi
Contract role in clinical research
Jul 2025
Clinical research
I had submitted over 50 applications with zero interviews. Within 3 weeks of starting, that completely changed — I began receiving back-to-back interviews and ultimately landed a contract role.

Clinical Research Associate (from CRC)

Clinical research
Structured mock interviews, personalized feedback, and a shift toward metric-driven communication. His coaching was instrumental in my transition from Clinical Research Coordinator to a CRA role.
The rules that decide what enters the record, and what never does.
Software prepares and speeds up work. It does not decide who is capable, and a machine output is never presented as a reviewed result.
What software does
What only a person does
Limits we state plainly
IAOCR accredits individual trainers, not training providers or their courses. Here is exactly what our use of the phrase means, and what it does not.
We work alongside organisations building access and standards in clinical research.
Simulation based assessment
Our programmes account for 300+ direct and indirect placements into clinical operations, monitoring and site management roles worldwide.
Employer destinations of graduates of our programmes. Logos indicate where graduates have been employed and imply no partnership, endorsement, client relationship or affiliation.
Clinical research is where the need is sharpest. It is not where this ends.
The same gap runs through pharmacovigilance, medical affairs, regulatory and manufacturing quality: work that demands proven competence, hiring that cannot confirm it. A capability record that is portable, auditable and current solves the same problem in each.
Our direction is a single capability layer for life sciences work, embeddable in the systems employers already use, and owned by the professionals it describes.
