Craig is a Partner at Arthur D. Little, based in Boston, and a member of our global Healthcare & Life Sciences Practice.
Craig’s work includes Quality and Regulatory Operations, Clinical Trial Operational Effectiveness and Manufacturing Compliance, in particular supporting the integration of quality systems post merger, the resolution of audit and inspection findings and process improvement and simplification.

 

Craig has a background in Quality Operations, IT and Clinical Development, and focuses on pharmaceutical and medical device companies helping to ensure the effective implementation of quality and regulatory compliance within this highly regulated environment.

 

Craig has worked with many of the world’s largest Life Sciences firms on aspects of their quality and regulatory environments; this has included work on remediation of warning letters and consent decrees.

 

Craig strongly believes that effective quality management should be an enabler of value within the organization, not a burden. Effective quality and compliance systems guide thinking without stifling innovation.

Managing competition, price and access
High medicine prices impose a burden on national healthcare systems, where pharmaceuticals account for a significant share of spending, especially for countries in the early stages of maturity in the pharma sector. Competition authorities have expressed concerns that access to affordable, innovative drugs may be at risk due to high prices, market withdrawals or other business strategies, along with national governments’ limited bargaining power against pharma companies.
Managing clinical trials during COVID-19 and beyond
One of the many consequences of the COVID-19 crisis has been difficulty in continuing to enroll and run clinical trials, which typically involve large numbers of people interacting in multiple geographies. Arthur D. Little (ADL) has pioneered and deployed a new, risk-based predictive analytical approach, powered by machine-learning technology. It enables pharma companies to make much better predictions and forecasts to support decision-making around key issues, such as adapting patient targets to favor less affected and recovering geographies, program extensions, and new trials.
Future health
How the industry will move from “one size fits all” to “ultra-targeted” care
