William Fletcher Appointed Senior Director at Knipper Health

Knipper Health has named William “Bill” Fletcher as senior director, Traceability and Electronic Client Communications.
 
“Bill’s extensive experience and deep subject matter expertise in the life sciences, biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries, especially in the areas of serialization, traceability and electronic data interchange (EDI), adds to our already seasoned team,” said Chris Dillon, general manager of Knipper 3PL, Knipper’s business dedicated to third-party logistics (3PL).
 
Fletcher has more than 41 years of experience in the life sciences industry, with leadership roles in pharmaceutical and biotech packaging and labeling, R&D, warehousing, distribution, and medical devices. His previous roles have included chief technology officer, director of development, product director, and program director for software, hardware and online solutions in life sciences.
 
Before joining Knipper Health, Fletcher was managing director for 18 years of Pharma Logic Solutions LLC, a consulting company that specializes in compliance with global traceability and serialization regulations. He has assisted more than 65 manufacturers, wholesalers, and 3PL and distribution providers to implement serialization systems, packaging, labeling, and related procedures—including several of the world’s largest drug or distribution providers—with both internal or contracted manufacturing, packaging, and distribution.
 
For decades, Fletcher has spoken to audiences during industry events worldwide. In 2013, he was asked to share his experience by speaking in the U.S. Capitol to congressional staff developing the Federal Drug Quality and Security Act (DQSA) of 2013, and more specifically, its Title II, the Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA), to improve the integrity of the U.S. drug supply chain and foster greater patient safety.
 
“I am excited to be a contributor for Knipper Health and Knipper 3PL and have already felt the great sense of community here with my colleagues,” Fletcher said. “This is a great time to join the company as we aim to solve many of the industry’s challenges with serialization and DQSA/DSCSA compliance and expand our services around the secure exchange of needed medications.”
 
Knipper Health is a healthcare solutions company serving the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and medical device industries for more than 35 years, with a focus on sample management and marketing, custom pharmacy solutions, and 3PL services.
