About Lillie Johnston

I partner with leaders in biopharma, biotech, and med‑device who need targeted scientific, technical, and operational talent to keep high‑stakes programs moving. My work focuses on supporting teams during the moments where bandwidth is stretched and timelines matter most- CMC and Quality scale‑ups, clinical execution, laboratory operations growth, bioinformatics throughput, and regulatory milestones.I blend the strengths of executive search, specialized scientific recruiting, and agile consulting without the constraints of any single model. That means fast, calibrated shortlists, clear communication, and a process built around accuracy rather than volume.Where I support teams:• CMC, Quality (QA/QC/Systems) and Manufacturing Operations• Clinical Development and Clinical Operations• Regulatory and Medical Writing• Biometrics and Bioinformatics• Study Start‑Up and Clinical Contracts• Laboratory Operations (Analytical, QC, R&D)• Medical Affairs and Scientific Affairs• Supply Chain and Technical OperationsWhat this typically looks like:• Targeted, senior‑ready technical talent• 48–72 hour calibration and market scan• A focused slate aligned to functional needs• Clear, structured communication with no surprises• A commitment to protecting timelines, quality, and internal bandwidthIf your organization is approaching a scale‑up, a clinical milestone, or simply needs the right people in the right roles at the right time, I’m here to h••••••••@gforcelifesciences.com gforcelifesciences.comAnd on a lighter note: I’m always open to hearing about Bigfoot sightings, ghost stories, your favorite Taylor Swift era, or a serious conversation about which Muppet you’d be and why.
