Who We Are
Foundry Quality Group specializes in quality management consulting for life sciences companies at a pivotal moment: scaling from research operations to commercial production. We address the persistent challenge that growing biotech, pharmaceutical, and agricultural life sciences organizations face—excelling at scientific innovation while struggling to build the quality infrastructure that regulatory success demands.
What sets us apart is uncommon dual expertise in both GLP research environments and GMP manufacturing operations, combined with a track record of architecting enterprise quality systems from the ground up, managing complex CMO relationships, and maintaining spotless regulatory records through years of FDA, EPA, and customer scrutiny.
We take a partnership approach that differs from typical consulting models. Rather than deploying junior teams at premium rates like large firms, or offering narrow specialized experience like independent consultants, we provide seasoned strategic insight combined with hands-on execution at a fraction of big-firm costs.
We work embedded with your team to build robust, scalable quality infrastructure while transferring knowledge and capability—creating systems designed to support your growth trajectory and enable innovation, not constrain it. Whether you’re preparing for your first regulatory inspection, navigating the GLP-to-GMP transition, or establishing quality systems for commercial operations, we bring the expertise and execution to ensure success.
