About George Chase

I’ve done a little bit of everything in Pharma, but I love the huge amount of opportunities and challenges that the industry brings. Over people work in the industry and still no one has the blueprint to get a product to market with a perfect process. That there is always something to be improved and achieved gets me up and out every day. I’ve worked in numerous capacities in the industry, and I have found each one enormously interesting and me more knowledgeable than when I started: process development for a Safety Division, taking a site from paper-based to electronic, heading up Quality for a CDMO site, commissioning pilot plants for clinical trail manufacture, leading an Analytical Testing team—it all has helped me build my knowledge and skills and hasn’t been boring for a single moment. I think if the industry can smooth out some of the edges and increase its efficiencies—and eliminate fraud—it will continue to help society and the world in ways that hardly even seem possible. I am happy to be a part of it.
