Jayson Pagan, MS, a former colleague and former consultant, who worked for me over several years when I was the senior lead consultant and owner of Effective Quality Systems Consulting, is a highly talented, dedicated quality professional whom I highly recommend to any organization without hesitation! Jayson's recommendation comes with sincere and tremendous respect after observing his many achievements and consistent professional disposition during challenging projects and diverse work environments. I highlight these accomplishments, although he has many more, without hesitation and having observed his capabilities by working with him directly. His analytical skill set, ability to apply regulations to create compliant approaches to investigations, effective CAPAs, SOPs, create and communicate technical reports within varying cultures to different departments, effectively and efficiently manage projects involving diverse groups of personnel representing many levels within an organization (technicians to senior management) are exceptional. He possesses a substantially broad skill set, one of the most impressive with which I have been honored to get to collaborate with on multiple projects. Jayson consistently exhibits relentless dedication to projects and respect to fellow colleagues. His assistance to manage a backlog of sterile injectable related investigations of approximately 900 was invaluable to a successful project! As a colleague and staff member, supporting my consulting efforts, his attention to detail, unwavering dedication to quality, compliance and data integrity were and was always invaluable. For example, during one scenario, he promptly ensured multiple product recalls were promptly identified and addressed in a compliant manner. Being able to rely on his project commitment and technical abilities to ensure compliance throughout projects is maintained makes him an invaluable asset! Additionally, I have observed him work extensive hours, 15 hours+ / day and weekends to complete critical responsibilities, especially when his expertise was needed in order to provide responses to regulatory agencies, e.g., FDA and DEA. Jayson, impressively, balanced multiple responsibilities to complete method transfers and development at multiple facilities from MS, TN to NJ, meeting deadlines! Having 23+ years of experience in the industry, I find it easy to recognize outstanding talent and have been fortunate to have him work for me as a consultant! His many accomplishments also include being the consummate individual who seeks to continuously learn and develop his abilities; his talents, integrity and work ethic are truly impressive. It is with much respect that I unequivocally recommend Jayson to any organization! Sincerely, Amy M. Peterson, MS Amy M.
