About Bob Ferer
A graduate of the State University of New York at Stony Brook, I am an engineering chemist with more than 21 years direct industry experience including the design, build, start-up, and management of facilities, specializing in aseptic manufacturing. My experience covers all aspects of pharmaceutical operations from receipt of raw materials through inspection, final packaging, and shipping of finished products.
In addition to operations experience, I have played an instrumental role in multiple new/renovated facility start up projects, which included developing and executing project master plans, schedules, and budgets, performing hands-on validation, design review, and equipment start up and commissioning.
As a consultant, I’m frequently contracted to manage large scale projects and provide high-level strategy and goal definition to clients. This includes due diligence, facility audits, compliance, and regulatory guidance for North America as well as EU markets.
To further expand my awareness of the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries’ advancements, I am a member of the International Society of Pharmaceutical Engineers and the Parenteral Drug Association. I’m also a regular contributor to industry publications.

Testimonial
“I worked with Bob Ferer on several projects over a period of several years. He was always very adept at getting to the heart of the matter and addressing the needs of the client that were truly consequential. This approach kept costs low and results high. Bob was always and remains well spoken, precise and pragmatic. I will always consider him one of the most intelligent and knowledgable professionals I have worked with, and one of the best friends I have come to know.” March 27, 2009
