CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Leaderboard Branding, a Fingerpaint Group company, the fast-growing global naming and branding firm delivering world-class creativity to biopharma and healthcare companies as early as clinical phase 1, announced the hiring of Hermann Spicker, a pivotal addition in Leaderboard’s continued expansion.
Spicker, based in Boston, Massachusetts, is an established leader and a recognized innovator in the branding and naming field with over a decade of experience. Prior to joining Leaderboard, Spicker spent the last 10 years managing the Boston and Northeast offices of Brand Institute, where he was responsible for supporting client engagements, business development, and innovation.
Over the course of his career, Spicker has worked on 500+ naming and branding engagements, partnering with many of the world’s most influential brands in the consumer, B2B, medical device, and pharmaceutical industries.

With over 1000 biotech companies calling the greater Boston area home, the capital is quickly becoming the world’s top biotech hub, generating some of the most innovative developments in treatments and diagnostics. With Spicker’s leadership as Managing Director and his vital relationships with key partners such as Biogen, Takeda, and Moderna, among others, Leaderboard is poised to provide an even higher level of support to clients navigating brand development. Spicker’s support positions Leaderboard Branding to exceed its pace not only in the United States but also globally.
