Organization and History

CDG is a small corporation with a long history. It was founded in 1990, before medical device companies even knew they needed regulatory consulting. It is believed to be the oldest clinical and regulatory consulting for the medical device industry in the States.

CDG deliberately chose to remain small, privately held company, corporation in order to ensure the quality of the consulting work-product. Organizationally, the head office consists of the President (and owner) Dr. Stark and 2-3 support personnel. Dr. Stark personally negotiates each consulting agreement to ensure that only work for which she has personal expertise will be contracted.

Once an agreement is in place and a statement of, the implementation is outsourced to one of its many independent experts, CDG's so-called "Network Staff". The Network Staff experts are scattered all over the States and Europe. The expert with the best background for the project (i.e. technological experience) is assigned to implement the statement of work.^[2]
