How a combination of teamwork, heart, and science ensured thousands of patients around the globe didn’t go without medicine.
Angie will never forget the day she got a call from a client with a packaging and logistics challenge of global proportions. They needed her help figuring out how to get an oncology drug labeled for 60,000 patients in 35 countries every month. And they needed that solution to fit in a four week cycle – half the time typically required to turn around a trial of that scale. So, Angie pulled together a team of experts across 10 departments to break down every step of the process. They worked long hours and explored every possible opportunity to increase efficiencies and take time out of the process. Then they set up an operator training lab to ensure everyone on the team could deliver the new solution as planned. The result was a 55% reduction in cycle times and thousands of patients around the world received the life-saving medication they needed.
