Your host, Raman Sehgal, discusses the pharmaceutical and biotechnology supply chain with guest Kevin Orfan speaking on the importance of building robust and scalable systems and processes in a fast growing contract packaging company, especially in the current climate of the pandemic. Kevin talks about the challenges in keeping up with the rapid, global demand of new, large molecule drug products and the increasing complexity they bring. He shares how he maintains a solid work ethic by always having a plan, knowing what he can control and focusing on the value-add factors in a business as a top priority. Lastly he speaks about the direct-to-patient trend he is seeing in the industry as pharmaceutical companies become more willing to carry out clinical trial work in patient's homes.
