“I first met Kimberly during 2014 while I was employed as a Principal Engineer, within a Manufacturing Science and Technology team at Shire HGT (currently Takeda), a Biopharmaceutical organization in Lexington, MA. My role was to provide daily support all scientific (process development), engineering and GMP manufacturing operations (cell culture, purification) for the manufacture of clinical and commercial drug substances. As part of this my role interacted closely with quality assurance (QA) personnel in addressing, investigating and resolving non-conforming events (deviations), corrective/preventative actions (CAPA’s), and their regulatory outcomes. Kimberly was one of a team of consultants hired to assist in resolving several manufacturing deviating events, cited as an organizational deficiency (483) following an FDA inspection. Kimberly was assigned to own a number of these investigations; all being related to complex technical issues. As such, Kimberly and I worked closely in determining primary root causes and contributing factors for those investigations. Kimberly is the “consummate professional”. She is extremely talented in conducting highly effective accurate GMP investigations. She has a strong knowledge of current good manufacturing practices and regulatory guidelines and is well versed in all QA functions necessary for our industry. She possesses outstanding technical writing, project managing, and analytical skills, utilizing these skills in composing clear, concise investigation reports written in a manner than readers less knowledgeable in the subject can easily understand. Her technical (scientific, engineering, single use materials, validation) knowledge is excellent as well. This understanding allowed for the technical investigation processes (e.g. data mining/analysis supporting hypothesis for RCA, product impact assessments) to be interpolated and entered to the investigations. Kimberly would also strive for corrections and process improvements and would ensure that these CAPA actions were implemented to allow for improved manufacturing. Personally, Kimberly developed strong relations with management and support staff in leading her projects, assigning SME teams, and coordinating their actions primarily for complex technical projects. She is highly personable and intelligent and always projects a highly collaborative persona. Her interpersonal skills were reflected in her team meetings, brainstorming sessions, and how she conducted personal interviews taking several root cause analysis methods (e.g. 5 why’s, is/is not, 6 M’s) to drive to root cause. She was a true team member who provided good feedback and input on team member actions, not just only focused on timelines and deliverables being met (which she was excellent driving as well). Her success at driving investigations to completion was instrumental in Shire’s remediation to the FDA response. I highly recommend Kimberly for future QA leadership roles. Tony Lac”

The key to an effective Quality Management System (QMS) is to have your QMS be aligned with your business needs. I work with pharmaceutical and medical device companies to establish, maintain, and improve their quality systems so they can provide world class healthcare. Based on my 25+ years of experience as an industry leader, I navigate the complexities of FDA compliance while maintaining the most efficient processes for their unique business needs.
I have diverse experience and expertise in assisting pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical device companies achieve compliance with FDA, EMEA, ISO and other recognized standards. Whether it is a proactive implementation or a 483/warning letter/consent decree remediation, I have worked with clients in achieving their compliance goals while reducing non-value added activities.
