Cerulean’s managing director, John Avellanet, has finally given in and started a blog of basic FDA advice on quality systems and regulatory compliance: Compliance Zen.
Compliance Zen is through TypePad at: http://www.ComplianceZen.com
Compliance Zen offers practical tips and short “how-to” articles on FDA-related topics such as Quality by Design, lean FDA compliance, records management, and Part 11 compliance. The blog also provides quick management and leadership tips gleaned from a mix of Mr. Avellanet’s personal experiences plus independent business management research. Included in the blog are reviews of leadership books with relevance to compliance, quality systems, and regulatory affairs executives (excerpted from his SmarterCompliance newsletter’s Featured Reading section).
John Avellanet is the author of more than 100 articles, is the compliance columnist for several international industry journals, and is a former C-level biotech and medical device executive for a Fortune 50 subsidiary. As the co-founder of a private compliance advisory firm, he publishes the monthly executive newsletter, SmarterCompliance™. He is a frequent speaker at corporate workshops, industry conferences, and meets regularly with regulatory officials. Learn more about Mr. Avellanet on his website: http://www.ceruleanllc.com
