About Polymath
Polymath provides holistic quality and quality compliance solutions to life sciences/pharmaceutical companies and a myriad of other industries. As a boutique firm, we don’t compete with big, expensive consulting firms because our size is our strength! Our consultants are a select group of professionals, many having multiple graduate degrees (e.g., law degrees and Ph.D.s in STEM fields) and varied professional work experience (e.g., ex-FDA and Big Pharma). Our size and selectivity allow us to provide the best possible outcomes for our clients at lower costs.
We utilize technical subject matter expertise, knowledge of U.S. and international laws and regulations, and FDA and industry experience to provide our clients with exceptional advisement. Whether we are supporting single or complex multi-Health Authority inspections, conducting internal company audits, designing and/or assisting in training or learning and development, providing Quality Management System (QMS) services or advising on complex compliance matters, our goal is to minimize risk to our clients.
