Altabrisa Group — Our Team

The Pharmaceutical GMP Consultants Behind the Work

Our pharmaceutical GMP consultants bring 30+ years of hands-on, FDA-regulated experience. We've worked inside the facilities, led the inspections, and built the systems — not from a distance.

30+ Years Experience
15–20 Senior Consultants
3 Offices

Every Altabrisa engagement is led by senior pharmaceutical GMP consultants with direct, operational experience in FDA-regulated manufacturing. We don't staff junior consultants on critical projects. Our team has built quality systems from scratch, responded to FDA 483 observations, cleared deviation backlogs in the thousands, and prepared sites across pharma, biotech, cell & gene therapy, and vaccines for pre-approval and routine inspections — and passed them.

Our Founding Pharmaceutical GMP Consultants

Jay Barnhill
Founder & Managing Director

Jay brings over 30 years of hands-on FDA regulatory experience in pharmaceutical manufacturing and cGMP compliance. He founded Altabrisa Group in 2003 to deliver the kind of embedded, operational compliance support that large staffing firms cannot — and has built the firm's reputation on remediation that sticks, not recommendations that gather dust.

His expertise spans quality systems design and remediation, deviation management, CAPA effectiveness, FDA inspection readiness, and the proprietary AdaptiStrat™ methodology that drives every Altabrisa engagement. Jay has led compliance recovery efforts following FDA 483s, warning letters, and consent decrees across sterile, oral solid dose, biologics, and cell & gene therapy manufacturing environments.
