Host of Dr. Nick: The Incrementalist – #TheIncrementalist
On this episode I talked to Robert Fenton (@robpfenton), the CEO and founder of Qualio (@Qualiohq). Robert is a pharmacist by training. He was born and raised in Ireland and worked with a range of pharmaceutical companies working in quality and drug development roles. It was this early work focused on delivering safe products and as he described it the “false binary choice between product quality and business philosophy”.

What emerged from the early ideas and concepts was Qualio – a worldwide company that provides quality management solutions and software to meet complex regulatory compliance requirements without sacrificing speed to market. Along the way, he was an early adopter of remote working, something that came about with distributed workforces that had small offices in different cities and the realization that the same work and team could be formed without physical office space.
Their solutions offer a simplified approach to FDA and ISO regulatory compliance speeding up the development process and ensuring the early inclusion of quality into developments in Life sciences, something that no longer takes place in the rarefied air of big corporations but is now importantly taking place in large, small and medium-size organizations who are speeding up the innovation process without compromising safety or trust in our healthcare treatments.
Listen in to hear how they were able to integrate product best in class solutions and built an ecosystem to support all the participants from devices companies, pharmaceutical, and biotech all the way through the regulated network they depend on from design development, laboratories, testing, manufacturing, distribution, packaging makes it easier for everyone to collaborate.
