His experience in life sciences includes packaging/labeling execution systems (PES) and machine vision inspection systems, serialization, barcoding, radio frequency identification (RFID), distribution systems, chain-of-custody e-Pedigree/RxASN, supply chain track and trace and improving overall equipment effectiveness (OEE). His experience also includes healthcare information systems (HL7), medical devices, drug discovery and R&D, clinical trials, brand marketing and physician education.

Mr. Fletcher has spoken and published numerous times on issues within the pharmaceutical industry. He is a member of several industry advisory groups and as such has had an impact on guiding the way organizations navigate the issues driving business strategy. In addition, he has experience in regulatory compliance, validation of operating systems (computer and manufacturing) in accordance with CFR Title 21 Part 11, GxP, cGMP, GAMP 4 and 5, business intelligence and knowledge systems (including portals), and integration of software applications into enterprise business systems such as SAP, IBM, Oracle, JD Edwards, Axway, Acsis, rfXcel, Cognex, Optel Vision, Systech and others.

He has managed teams of technology professionals and projects throughout the pharmaceutical lifecycle. Having established and refined development methodologies for multiple companies, Bill has steadily enhanced the process to leverage proven Agile methodologies with clearly defined requirements in highly regulated industries. This has streamlined project execution and resource utilization while improving overall product quality and customer satisfaction. It has also allowed for steady releases to improve interest in products and the company.

Mr. Fletcher is currently focused on pharmaceutical serialization, track and trace and anti-counterfeiting. He has developed serialization and e-Pedigree strategy, requirements, vendor selection and project planning for multiple companies. In March 2012, he completed his 9th serialization and traceability strategy/requirement/vendor selection project in life sciences.

In a prior role, Mr. Fletcher was director of development for a leading provider of packaging execution systems and machine vision inspection systems. In that role Mr. Fletcher led development teams for multiple serialization and RFID projects, including for a highly publicized serialization, RFID and e-Pedigree deployment for a top 10 global pharmaceutical company.

In the mid 1990's, as Executive Director, Bill Fletcher lead the creation of an online web-based / Internet Application Service Provider (ASP) business unit for a software development organization.  The company specialized in customer relationship management (CRM), enterprise resource planning (ERP), supply chain logistics, field force management, parts logistics, call centers and sales management. These web-based services were offered via a secure Internet connection to businesses and mobile wireless workers at a time when the world wide web was in its infancy.

Bill Fletcher held various Product Management and technology leadership roles in medical instrumentation throughout much of the 1980.  This experience refined his customer relationship, product development lifecycle and project management skills.  These skills allow him to rapidly implement technology solutions on schedule, within budget and with a high degree of quality. 

Mr. Fletcher holds a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering. He is a long standing member of the Project Management Institute (PMI), GS1 (traceability, RFID and bar coding standards) and has received various industry certifications, including SAP Auto identification infrastructure (Aii) for managing encoding systems. Bill Fletcher is also a graduate of Malcolm Baldrige Quality Leadership, Xerox Sales Training, Philip Crosby Quality Leadership and Creative Energy's Total Leadership Connection for Executive Management.
