Background

About Kiersten Smith Purington

My firm helps life sciences clients with Project and Program Management within the clinical and regulatory space, Alliance Management, New Client Acquisition, and Executive and Board Communications. The types of clients I typically work with are CROs, early stage biotech, big pharma, and life sciences non-profit/educational institutions. As a prior Research Scientist, Medical Writing Scientist, and Interim Chief of Staff, the scope of my professional expertise allows me to guide clients and teams on a variety of topics and needs. Over the last 12 years, my work has supported numerous NDA/BLA/MAA submissions, label expansions, and regulatory defense activities across multiple disease areas leading to successful regulatory approvals. This includes the rare disease space (cystic fibrosis) and, most recently, work in the COVID-19 pandemic space under emergency use mechanisms. The importance of a strong communicator, facilitator, and leader is crucial to tackling complex projects and team dynamics. These skills are some of my greatest strengths and have led to many successful, positive outcomes for my clients. I am also successful at building and maintaining relationships with people from different backgrounds and experiences.
