About Us
Chris O'Reilly
With over 30 years of experience in biotechnology operations and engineering, I am an independent advisor who specializes in confidential assessments of technical operations in support of operational streamlining and due diligence initiatives for potential biotechnology mergers and acquisitions. I have a multi-disciplinary network of independent, seasoned professionals available to assist in specialized areas when needed. My mission is to provide insightful evaluations of the feasibility, compliance, risk, and value of various biotech products and processes, ranging from biologics and medical devices to human tissue products, aseptic processes and novel materials.
As an independent advisor, I offer a wide range of services, such as gross margin assessments, technical reviews, process and supply chain risk assessments, staff balancing assessments, on-site facility value evaluations, FDA inspection readiness reviews and capital project support. Prior to becoming an independent advisor, I was the Vice President of Operations, Facilities and Process Engineering at Organogenesis Inc., performing technical/operational due diligence for potential acquisitions as well as leading systems integration and staffing initiatives through the full acquisition life cycle to operational optimization.
