MEET THE TEAM
Julia Love
President and Founder
Julia Love is a Business Consultant with proven success helping global organizations in the pharmaceutical industry improve productivity and profitability levels. Julia founded her own firm, Love Contracts, in July 2019, supporting clinical vendor sourcing and contracting for small biotech, biopharma, and med device companies. More recently, Julia co-founded Newbould Love Sourcing Strategies.
In re-launching Love Contracts on October 1, 2022, Julia is going back to basics - exclusively supporting small biotech and biopharma to leverage her experience on both sides of the outsourcing process. With experience working in both the sponsor and CRO side of the biotech business, Julia knows first-hand the necessity of the value in seeing the other party’s point of view to make outsourcing decisions and minimize the pain of the contracting process.
Julia is a Duke University graduate with decades of clinical research contracting experience, earning a career reputation as an executive for both CRO and major biopharma companies. She has successfully led contracting for Clinical, Early Development, Central Labs, Clinical Pharmacology, FSP, and Market Access business units.
Julia's experience includes:
-
GlaxoWellcome (now GSK) - R&D Finance, managing clinical contracts, and building the first clinical outsourcing group
-
Millennium/Takeda - lead clinical outsourcing rep for two strategic programs, headed study transitions to new partnership CROs
-
Quintiles (now IQVIA) - started the Business Account Management (BAM) group to support key account contract deliverables
-
Covance (now Labcorp Drug Development) - integrated all business unit contracts departments with customized consistent processes to drive contract execution, development and implementation of a tracking and forecasting application
Julia is fortunate that Love Contracts has many dedicated professionals who can support any contracting need. All Love Contracts Associates have extensive strategic outsourcing expertise and have worked with small biotech/biopharma in all study phases and indications.
