ABOUT MARK CARLSON

Biotech doesn’t wait — and neither can Quality. As timelines tighten around filings, inspections, and growth milestones, the pressure on QA leadership only grows.That’s where I come in.For over 25 years, I’ve partnered with biopharma companies to build strong, inspection-ready Quality functions — placing leaders from Director to C-suite across GCP, GMP, GLP, and PV.I focus exclusively on retained executive search for Quality and Compliance roles in biotech. Whether it’s finding a VP of GCP QA ahead of an IND submission or helping a Head of Quality rebuild post-audit, I bring a milestone-based model that delivers fully vetted, high-performing candidates in under 60 days — without the usual stalls or surprises.A recent example: An oncology client retained us to find their first VP of Quality. The goal was clear — build systems from the ground up, define strategy, overhaul SOPs, ensure phase-appropriate compliance, and mentor the team. We presented 11 qualified candidates, 8 advanced to second-round interviews, and the right hire was made by Day 16. The full search wrapped up in just 36 days.If you’re scaling a Quality function — or need to fill a key leadership role without delay — let’s connect. Even a quick conversation might save you weeks down the line.Contact Info:Email: m•••••••@prestigescientific.comPhone: 85••••••38
