About the Expert
Jerry Chapman
Jerry brings 40 years’ experience in the pharma industry, including 31 years at Eli Lilly in technical and leadership positions in research and product development, manufacturing, plant quality, site quality, corporate quality, and quality systems.
He designed and implemented a comprehensive GMP Intelligence process to identify pertinent drug GMP regulations, inspection findings, trends, and best practices in the US and internationally, then analyze, communicate, manage, and archive that knowledge. This included publishing an internal newsletter that was distributed broadly to all levels of the company.
More recently, Jerry designed, built, and implemented a unique state-of-the-art external surveillance and quality knowledge management (QKM) system at Elanco. The QKM system makes GMP surveillance and analysis findings easily searchable and accessible to anyone in the quality, manufacturing, development, auditing, GMP training functions, and others.
Prior to that, he served for six years as Chief Information Officer and Senior Editor at International Pharmaceutical Quality (IPQ), where he traveled and attended conferences and performed interviews domestically and internationally with key industry and government stakeholders and published reports regarding the hot topics at the industry/regulator interface.
Jerry was also Editor in Chief for Xavier Health, covering their pharma and artificial intelligence (AI) conferences and publishing reports, primarily in Pharmaceutical Online. He was founder and chairman of the GMP Intelligence subgroup of the Midwest Discussion Group from 2005 to 2010.
