The Bio Supply Management Alliance was born for the need to create a worldwide community of operations and supply chain management leaders and professionals in the biotech, biopharma, and biomedical device industries. Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, home to more than 400 bio firms, the Alliance provides a forum for collaboration, learning and best practice sharing of practitioners, executives and thought leaders in these uniquely demanding industries. Founders Tim Salaver and Devendra Mishra have forged relationships with key industry leaders and defined initiatives with a vision to create process, people, procedure and policy improvements in this vital sector. Our advisors are senior executives from Amgen, Bio-Rad Laboratories, Genentech, Alcon Laboratories, Bayer Healthcare, Kaiser Permanente and BioMarin Pharmaceutical, thought leaders from academic institutions such as Massachusetts Institute of Technology, University of California, Berkeley, Golden Gate University, Texas Christian University, and Pepperdine University and professional organizations APICS Golden Gate Chapter and CSCMP. Because life depends on us, the Bio Supply Management Alliance supports continuous lifelong learning and improvement of bio supply management professionals.
