Strategic Scientific & Quality Advisor
Anelia Atanassova is a senior scientific and quality advisor with over 30 years of global experience supporting life sciences organizations across biopharmaceutical research, preclinical development, diagnostics, and regulated environments. She works with boards, investors, and executive teams at critical inflection points, where scientific rigour, quality governance, and strategic decisions directly affect enterprise value.
Her perspective is shaped by extensive international experience, including formative work in Japan, where quality management principles have been deeply ingrained in the organizational culture for decades. Anelia is known for helping organizations reframe Quality Management Systems (QMS) from compliance mechanisms into leadership and decision-making systems that support credibility, scalability, and long-term growth.
Throughout her career, she has advised and contributed to initiatives delivering over $500 million in cumulative cost savings through strategic optimization and Quality by Design (QbD)–driven approaches. Her background spans academia, industry, and advisory roles, enabling her to bridge deep scientific understanding with board-level judgment.
Anelia is most effective in advisory and governance contexts, providing an independent perspective on scientific, translational, regulatory, and quality risks before they become barriers to partnerships, investment, or valuation. She is recognized for her calm, credible boardroom presence and her ability to translate complex technical issues into clear, decision-ready insights.
