Fisher Clinical Services has begun a special feature on its website to help highlight its hard-working project and supply chain managers.

The new series, titled ‘Spotlight on Excellence’, will highlight one staff member a month, including information on their background, experience in the field, and an example of how they applied their knowledge.

This month’s staff member is Fisher Clinical Services’ Clinical Supplies Optimization Group senior clinical supply chain manager Sylvia. She has been part of the Fisher team for more than two years, bringing more than 20 years’ experience in clinical supplies at both large and small pharmaceutical companies.

Having managed a clinical supplies group at a small pharmaceutical company undergoing rapid expansion, she knows the challenges a smaller company faces as it works to bring breakthrough products to the market. As a senior supply chain manager with Fisher Clinical Services, Sylvia and her team of supply chain managers and drug supply coordinators oversee multiple Phase II and III trials from simulation and planning all to distribution and returns.

Sylvia has earned her time in the Fisher Clinical Services ‘Spotlight’ for the expertise she applied to a small client, with limited staff, handling multiple study startups over a condensed timeline.

Sylvia and the Fisher team:

  • Enabled her client’s clinical supply group (that consisted of just one manager), execute four global study start-ups simultaneously
  • Created tailor-made solutions to fit multiple specific study requirements
  • Seamlessly coordinated all efforts between the pharmaceutical company, its contract research organisation (CRO) partner and IRT vendor, allowing the pharmaceutical company to focus their time and attention on other study related tasks.
