Livia M.

I help life science and life science IT companies (love startups!) move faster through complexity - turning regulatory bottlenecks, fragmented teams, and high-stakes milestones into well-orchestrated, on-time delivery. With a PhD in Biotechnology and advanced training in economics (MsC) and project management (PMP-certified), I bring a rare combination that most clients struggle to find in one person: deep scientific fluency, operational rigor, and a commercial mindset. I don't just track tasks - I understand the science behind the deliverables, the regulations governing them, and the business value they create. I translate the language of academic science into clear business strategy, helping research teams articulate value in terms investors and partners can act on. Bridging that gap means research doesn't just stay rigorous - it becomes fundable, scalable, and strategically aligned with market and partnership goals. What I Do I work as a fractional Project Manager and Operations Consultant (founder of Projectory) for biotech, pharma, and MedTech organizations that need senior-level execution without a full-time hire. My work spans the full product and compliance lifecycle: - Regulatory & quality project management - FDA documentation support, CFDA/EMA-aligned planning, audit-readiness, and structured organization of complex technical and partnership data. - Cross-functional team leadership - coordinating R&D, regulatory, clinical, marketing, and software development teams toward shared milestones. - Operations & process design - building scalable SOPs, governance structures, and tracking systems for fast-moving startups and scaling organizations. - Strategic alignment - translating strategic goals into executable roadmaps, resource plans, and measurable deliverables. - Stakeholder & partnership management - aligning researchers, investors, partners, CROs, and internal teams through clear communication and data-driven decision-making. Why Clients Hire Me I speak the language of both the lab and the boardroom. Most project managers in regulated industries either understand the science but not the operations, or the operations but not the regulatory constraints. I've spent a decade working across both. from peptide research to FDA documentation, from healthcare AI analytics to MedTech product operations. My experience includes: - Biotech Startup - Project Manager supporting biotech innovation from early experiments to FDA approval - Healthcare AI - Business Analyst translating data into operational and strategic insight - Forum Bio - Marketing Project Manager driving growth and lead generation - MedTech startup (endoscopy) - Virtual assistant and operations support in a regulated device environment This breadth means I adapt fast. Whether your project is a clinical submission, a software launch, a marketing campaign, or a partnership onboarding, I bring the same structured, outcomes-driven approach. Core Strengths - Regulatory affairs & compliance documentation (FDA pathways, accelerated programs) - Project & program management (PMP methodology, agile + waterfall) - Operations & quality management in healthcare - Multidisciplinary team coordination across time zones - Business development, strategy, and stakeholder collaboration - Data organization and decision-ready reporting - Marketing and lead generation for life sciences How I Work I lead with clarity, structure, and accountability. Every engagement starts with understanding your strategic objective, mapping the dependencies and risks, and building a plan that your team can actually execute. I communicate proactively, document rigorously, and never lose sight of the business outcome behind the project. If you're a biotech, pharma, or medtech leader who needs a reliable, senior-level project and operations partner - one who understands your science, your regulations, and your growth goals - let's talk. Others said about me: "Lívia brought operational rigor to our early-stage biotech, owning a complex timeline across R&D, regulatory, and partners. She genuinely understands the science - challenging development discussions in the morning and reframing our investor narrative by the afternoon. She made our chaos manageable." "We brought Lívia in to structure our FDA documentation during a critical scaling phase. She was precise, proactive, and immediately fluent in the regulatory language. She didn't just manage tasks - she built systems our team still uses. She felt like part of our company, not a contractor." "Lívia sits between two worlds that rarely understand each other - academic research and commercial investment. She translated dense science into decision-ready board updates and helped researchers understand what investors needed to see. That work accelerated trust on both sides and directly supported our next funding round."
