William Crouse is Chairman; Bob Moccia - President and CEO; Rick Havens - Executive Vice President, Sales and Marketing; Boris Meyerson, Ph.D. - Executive Vice President, Business Operations; Kent Taylor - Vice President, Marketing; and Tim Waite - Vice President, Sales. Additionally, Charles W. Stiefel, the former Chairman and CEO of Stiefel Laboratories, has agreed to join the board of directors of Encore.

Encore will have a wide range of medical dermatology products, treating a number of topical disease states such as acne and atopic dermatitis. The company says it is rapidly expanding through acquisitions, in-licensing, and co-marketing opportunities.
