ABOUT EMILY JOHNSON

Clinical Operations professional with sponsor-side experience leading trials from early development through Phase primarily in CNS. I’ve led study start-up, overseen CRO and vendor partnerships, and managed complex programs with a strong focus on quality, timelines, and patient safety.I bring a strategic and hands-on approach to trial delivery by working closely with cross-functional teams to anticipate risks, solve problems, and keep studies moving forward from first-in-human through later phase execution. I’m known for building strong, trust-based relationships with CROs, vendors, and internal partners to drive alignment and accountability across programs.I also prioritize strong partnerships with investigative sites, fostering engagement that supports smooth start-up, solid enrollment and retention, and high-quality data. On the financial side, I have experience developing, forecasting, and managing clinical trial budgets by proactively tracking spend and variances to keep studies on target.I’m motivated by the opportunity to help bring innovative therapies to patients through thoughtful operations and collaborative teamwork.
