On the Job

Jeff is a Life Sciences Consultant and a Biopharma/Cell & Gene Therapy virtual Chief Information Officer (vCIO) for SVA Life Sciences, a member of the SVA family of companies.

Jeff offers real world experience delivering strategic business and IT solutions that allow a small Life Sciences company the ability to efficiently scale and operate. He ultimately provide strategic leadership to help the company commercialize their first product candidate.

He has personally witnessed the positive effects of sponsoring exceptional team leadership, staff development, and creating strong partnerships between clients and vendors. Jeff has worked with small IT budgets supporting emerging capabilities and can easily empathize to the innumerable challenges that arise. He is well versed in partnering with Biopharma leadership teams, integrating fit-for-purpose logistics systems, and discerning constraints related to Phase I, II and III clinical trials. Jeff enjoys pitching in to get the work done because he knows what it means to be a “small team”.
