“Kindeva’s expertise in all areas of drug delivery and manufacturing is unmatched in the industry,” Riter said. “I am looking forward to working with the team on expanding our capabilities and expertise in analytical services and working with customers on their analytical approach and strategy for their combination products.”

“Jennifer’s experience blends knowledge of primary packaging components and containment and delivery systems with hands-on experience of providing technical support and analytical solutions to multinational customers,” said Kindeva Global Chief Commercial Officer David Stevens. “The long list of experience and technical knowledge she brings to the team enhances Kindeva as a global drug-device combination CDMO as well as builds the future of integrated and stand-alone analytical support for the wider pharmaceutical, biopharmaceutical, and medical device sector.”
