The Patent Cliff Isn’t a Pipeline Problem. It’s a Leadership Problem
[…]
Manufacturing, CMC and Technical Operations
We place leaders who ensure products move reliably from lab to market overseeing manufacturing scale-up, quality systems, and supply chain integrity.
Supply security and manufacturing scale-up have become board-level concerns since the recent wave of global supply disruptions, putting a premium on technical operations leaders who have managed capacity and supplier risk under pressure.
Recent placements:
- Head of CMC, biologics development, Global pharma
- VP Manufacturing Operations, Mid-size biopharma
- Director of Quality Assurance, Mid-size biopharma
Approach
Execruit engaged operators with direct experience negotiating supply transfer agreements and securing regulatory approval for new suppliers under similarly compressed timelines.
Outcome
The hire was in place within six weeks, additional supplier capacity was qualified ahead of the client's internal deadline, and the product avoided a supply interruption.
Signe Reidla's regulatory career at F. Hoffmann-La Roche AG brought her into close, hands-on collaboration with Pharmaceutical Development in new formulation development, Global Supply Lead and senior Technical Operations leadership working directly with local markets to secure approvals for additional suppliers during a period of rapid global demand surge and negotiating supply transfer agreements with external partners. That direct exposure to the CMC and technical operations milestones that determine whether a product reaches patients on time is insight Execruit brings to every manufacturing and technical operations search.
