Alcami Corporation, a contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO), has promoted Katie Schlipp to president of laboratory operations.

Schlipp brings over 25 years of experience in leading laboratory teams. She started her career with AAIPharma (now Alcami) as an assistant scientist in Wilmington, NC, and progressed through every level of the scientific and management career ladder culminating in her appointment as president.

As president of laboratory operations, Schlipp is responsible for Alcami’s extensive laboratory network spanning four campus locations offering comprehensive analytical development and method establishment, QC release and stability testing, microbiology, and identification/characterization to support both small molecules and biologics.

“During her tenure at Alcami, Katie instituted 5S and lean principles, Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), and implemented training and mentoring solutions within our laboratory operation, which is widely recognized today as one of the top analytical service labs in the world,” said Patrick Walsh, chairman and CEO of Alcami. “Katie’s proven track record of leading client-focused laboratory operations makes her the ideal choice to lead Alcami’s next phase of laboratory operations growth and expansion.”
