Mike Atkinson brings 18 years of life sciences leadership experience to firm

HOUSTON, Jan. 22, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Myrtle Consulting Group, a leading firm delivering sustainable operational transformations to global manufacturing, processing and distribution companies, announced today that Mike Atkinson joins the firm as a vice president and sector lead for life sciences. Atkinson brings over 18 years of experience in global operations and supply chain leadership roles to Myrtle, as well as extensive knowledge in designing and implementing operational excellence programs.

Prior to joining Myrtle, Atkinson was senior vice president of operations and supply chain for Essilor of America, a $3B business unit of Essilor Group, the global leader in ophthalmic optics. In this role, he led more than 4,000 employees in manufacturing and supply chain, who helped correct and protect the visual health of more than 25 million consumers each year. Atkinson has also held supply chain and manufacturing leadership roles with Abbott Medical Optics and Abbott Nutrition, and led many projects over an 11-year period for Celerant Consulting and Management Engineers.

"Life sciences manufacturers today are seeking operations experts as partners to team up and improve their process efficiency. Regulatory changes, manufacturing process effectiveness, condensed product lifecycles and the need to coordinate a smooth march toward an FDA approval create increasingly complex operational challenges that we will continue to help the industry address," said Edwin Bosso, Myrtle founder and CEO. "Mike's experience and creative approach to helping market-leading organizations improve and sustain operational performance will be an incredible asset for our clients in life sciences."
