Kurt Voss is a Head of Quality/Sr. Director of Quality/cGMP at Exelixis. Colleagues describe him as "Kurt was Head of Quality at Novartis and Viatris when I was in the MS&T organization. Kurt has the unique but essential ability to stay calm and respectful yet; laser-focused on the task is a good combination of skills in a leader navigating the organization through PAI and routine HA inspections. Kurt was easy to approach when I first joined the San Carlos site, and that did not change when I led the MS&T organization. Mine was not a unique experience. He cares about his team and the people he works with. He is always available to talk about work or someone seeking advice. If the opportunity present, I would love to work with Kurt. Any company would be lucky to have him lead a quality organization.", "I worked with Kurt for almost 6 years at Novartis and served on the site leadership team with him. Kurt is an amazing leader, bringing people together to achieve common goals and engendering trust and confidence in others. He was always a calm voice of reason, even in times of great stress. He contributed creative solutions, and rallied with people inside and outside his quality group to get things done. He was also not afraid to make hard decisions and explain them to others so they were able to understand. People like and respect Kurt for his honesty and integrity. I've worked with many leaders over the years, and Kurt is one of the best I've known. As a communications leader, I make sure executives are sharing information openly and honestly and showing authenticity and compassion. With Kurt, this came naturally and made my job that much easier. He's also just a great colleague. While he takes quality very seriously, he is still able to have fun and relate to others in a way that makes them want to do what's right. I would love to work with Kurt again. If you get a chance to - grab it!", and "Having worked with Kurt for a number of years in a Leadership role, I am confident in his abilities and feel he has the knowledge and experience to excel in a variety of Quality roles. I have observed him successfully manage numerous site compliance audits, navigate complex investigations, and use rational decision making to deliver favorable outcomes. I would recommend Kurt to any organization looking to build and enhance their Quality/Compliance organization."
