Tracey Gmoser, a respected and professional in biostatistics recruiting, passed away on March 15 after a battle with cancer.

Gmoser retired in 2015 after nearly 30 years of dedicating her time to help statisticians build their careers and to help companies develop their biometrics functions. She made a lasting impact on many statisticians over the course of her career and was known for her extensive knowledge of the pharmaceutical industry and her dedication to improving drug development through bringing the right talent to each role she worked in. Her expertise and passion for biostatistics were evident in every aspect of her work.

Gmoser joined Smith Hanley Associates in 1984, where she began as a recruiter and quickly began to develop a team to recruit across all biometrics functions. Gmoser helped develop the next generation of statistical recruiters.

Gmoser’s clients looked to her as a trusted adviser in recruitment. Candidates relied on her for mentorship and career advice, and she became known for her commitment to their professional growth. Her ability to understand both the nuances of the industry and the aspirations of individuals made her an invaluable resource to all who worked with her. Her impact was felt across the biostatistics community, where she was a mentor, guide, and friend.

Gmoser was not just known for her professional accomplishments, but also for her genuine kindness, her unwavering support for those around her, and her passion for helping others succeed. In retirement, she enjoyed spending time with her loved ones, cultivating her hobbies, and sharing her vast knowledge with those who sought it. She leaves behind a legacy that will continue to inspire and influence the world of biostatistics and recruitment. May her memory be a blessing.
