Zoom - PMI Northeast Ohio Chapter

In regulated environments, vendor management is not just procurement or task tracking; it is an operating system for accountability, documentation, risk control, and inspection readiness.

This session will provide a practical framework for managing multi-vendor ecosystems across sponsors, vendors, CROs, CDMOs, functional teams, and leadership stakeholders. Presented by Pawankumar Suresh, MS, CSM, a biopharmaceutical program and technical operations professional, will discuss how project and program managers can clarify ownership, define evidence of completion, manage cross-functional dependencies, escalate risks constructively, and build governance rhythms that reduce execution drift in compliance-heavy environments.

The session will be practical and case-based, with examples that can apply beyond life sciences to other regulated or matrixed project environments.
