Life Science Partner is pleased to announce the recruitment of Dave Booth as Vice President of Quality Assurance and Regulatory Affairs with Be The Match.
Booth is a seasoned quality executive with a broad background in building and leading global quality teams within the medical device industry. At Smiths Medical, Booth was Head of Quality for the Infusion Systems Business Unit, responsible for both Pre-market and Post-market Quality, overseeing customer-facing quality concerns, and establishing a new product quality leadership function.
At Greatbatch Medical, he created new processes and an organization for Design Assurance and Product Monitoring for their Orthopedic business. Previously, Booth led the Quality Systems and Compliance organization within Medtronic’s Cardiac Disease Rhythm Management business.
Booth understands how to build and lead a quality organization and to prepare a company to enter a new regulatory environment. Throughout his career, Booth has overseen teams ranging from small post-market groups to large, multi-site Operations Quality teams. Trained as a statistician, Booth often approaches problem solving by applying his analytical skills in conjunction with insights stemming from his extensive experience in the industry.
Booth will play a pivotal role in helping Be The Match during its next stage of growth and development. The organization is best known as the world’s largest provider of unrelated matched bone marrow donors for life-saving therapies. As allogenic-derived cell therapies are revolutionizing the treatment of cancer and genetic illnesses,
Be The Match is preparing to become the preferred supplier of hematopoietic cells to enable these therapies. Booth’s leadership skills and his years of experience managing interactions with the FDA render him well-suited to prepare Be The Match for the regulatory rigors of FDA oversight they will face as they move into the cell therapy space.
