he pace at which new technology is reshaping our everyday lives is increasing at lightning speeds.
The influence of technological innovation continues to grow, changing all industries as it evolves.
Out of all of the industries in which technology is responsible for accelerating innovation,
healthcare is one of the most important. The fusion of technology with healthcare is responsible for
improving and saving countless lives all around the world. Healthcare labs are now outfitted with
modern equipment; and diagnostics technologies and devices like smart phones and tablets are
starting to substitute traditional monitoring and recording systems. Technological improvements in
healthcare have contributed to services being taken out of the boundaries of hospital walls and uniting
them with user-friendly, accessible devices.

company that is bridging the gap between healthcare and the latest technology. Since 2001, the

4. The Leader Guiding Success
Lynn Fischer, CEO of Title21 Health Solutions, leads the
overall strategic direction and effective operations of the
company. With Ms. Fischer’s leadership, Title21 has
successfully expanded beyond the blood business into
biotechnology, cellular therapy, regenerative medicine,
hospital labs, as well as blood and marrow transplant
programs. The company was selected by CIOReview as a
Top 20 Most Promising Technologies in Biotech for two
years in a row. Ms. Fischer offers a unique perspective
based on her many years of consumer packaged goods
experience specializing in innovation with new product,
brand, and business development. She transitioned into
healthcare technology eight years ago after starting her
career within the wine and ice cream business. While Vice
President of Marketing at the third largest winery in the
world, she repositioned Concannon Vineyard to a national
brand receiving Gomberg-Frederickson’s ‘Winery of The
Year’ award and trademarking Concannon’s place in
history as “America’s First Petite Sirah.” Ms. Fischer also
launched M&M , Snickers , and Milky Way Ice Cream as
General Manager of M&M/Mars and Dreyer’s Grand Ice
Cream joint venture. She began her marketing career at E.
& J. Gallo Winery after earning her MBA from the
University of Pittsburgh, Katz Graduate School of
Business. Her career has focused on innovation and
leadership serving as a corporate entrepreneur.
Comprehensive Spectrum of Solutions with Pathfinders
Title21 has been providing integrated solutions to meet the
compliance-driven needs of life science organizations
including Document Control, Change Control, Learning
Management, Error Management, CAPA, Audit, Equipment
Maintenance, Complaint Handling, Supplies Management,
Product Inventory and other solutions. The ease-of-use,
flexibility and native integration capabilities of Title21’s
comprehensive platform helped the company become the
go-to enterprise quality management platform for life
sciences. In recent years, the company has developed data
management solutions for the cellular therapy and
regenerative medicine space. In 2014, the company
launched its Cellular Therapy Solution, which enables
complete electronic data management and automation of
the complex workflows of a cellular therapy environment
spanning from laboratory processing, inventory
management to product release review and clinical data
management.
“The opportunity for us to develop solutions to help cell
therapy organizations meet their data management
challenges and shift into a new market was due to our
ability to listen to market needs, think outside the box, and
our culture of innovation.”
Having an experienced and passionate team of
professionals and high-performing culture are important
support pillars to Lynn’s leadership and the business. Both
technical and soft skills are valued at Title21 Health
Solutions with a requisite belief in the Title21 Culture Code
which includes a passion for making a difference, a sense of

5. ownership, the ability to think and perform outside the
box, willingness to be a life-long learner, a commitment to
excellence, and the mindset to thrive in a dynamic, high-
growth environment.
Motivation to Make a Difference
Ms. Fischer’s motivation comes from her desire to make a
difference and to continue innovating in order to support
and improve the quality of healthcare. “At Title21, we
serve our customers with sincere commitment to make
their lives easier so that they may focus on providing the
best patient care and treatments possible.”
“I am motivated by achieving what others may view as
unlikely or even impossible. My passion is to support
improved patient safety and outcomes through our
innovative technologies,” envisions Ms. Fischer.
A Leader’s Inspirations
“My greatest inspiration is a woman who understood the
importance of making a difference and was able to
accomplish great things through a lifetime of small acts.
Mother Teresa’s selfless service to others is a wonderful
inspiration, and she is an exemplary role model for the
work that I do at Title21 Health Solutions. I was fortunate
to have incredible mentors as parents teaching me strong
core values like integrity, optimism, perseverance and
maintaining high standards at all costs,” heartily depicted
Ms. Fischer.
Attributes of Successful Businesswomen
When asked what she believes makes a successful
businesswoman, Ms. Fischer replied, “A positive
perspective, excellent judgment, roll-up-your-sleeves grit,
the ability to apply new learning, and unwavering
perseverance are all indispensable elements for success.”
Ms. Fischer explained that one must have the mindset to
refine continually and reinvent oneself by pursuing
opportunities that may seem at first to be out of one’s
comfort zone. “It’s important for a leader to be able to
move through the learning curve to a level of unconscious
competence so that new experiences and skills can be
applied to opportunities real-time,” stated Ms. Fischer.
Lynn also emphasized that it’s important to maintain a
healthy balance between personal and professional life.
She shared, “many of my best ideas come to me while I am
out of the office. My family loves to travel, so we are
always exploring other cultures and ideas. Traveling
abroad is an excellent way to maintain perspective on
what’s important. It is also very helpful that my three
children and husband are incredibly supportive of my
career and the success of Title21 Health Solutions, so they
understand when I have to work instead of play. When
one’s personal passions align with the goals and mission of
the company she leads, the balancing act is much easier.”

6. Continued Growth and Innovation
Ms. Fischer attributes Title21 Health Solutions’ success to
following their true north of improving patient safety and
outcomes through easy-to-use, flexible and integrated
technologies. Title21’s team is dedicated to customer-
centric innovation driven by the long-term partnerships they

learning, partnering with leaders, and a steady focus on

impact on the market.”
Turning Obstacles into Opportunities
While discussing past challenges, Lynn shared, “I have
faced and overcome many obstacles in my career. From
being laid off from my first job out of college as a
copywriter at a well-known advertising agency to pivoting
my career from consumer packaged goods into healthcare
IT. The former obstacle was the impetus for me to pursue
my MBA and the latter has taught me how to transcend a
steep learning curve very quickly. I approach obstacles now
as exciting challenges where I discover new paths to
success through resourcefulness, creative problem-solving
and sheer effort. It makes what I do very rewarding, and I
am never bored. I have learned that the answer ‘No’ is just
the beginning of the conversation when you have a winning
mindset. There is always a way to find common ground if
you can approach the negotiation with an empathetic
perspective and an open mind.”
Long-term Partnerships Founded on Customer-Centric
Innovation
For every organization on the globe, maintaining a
successful customer base requires determination and
excellent caliber. Title21 has proven their ability to cultivate
long-term partnerships with their customers by streamlining
client processes while supporting the constant of change.
This allows their customers to innovate while maintaining
compliance with the regulations and standards. Since the
company’s solutions were designed with flexibility and
long-term requirements in mind, their technologies
establish a customer-centric foundation for long-term
strategic partnerships. Ms. Fischer says, “Fundamentally, it
is important for a company to do what you say you are
going to do. The business then builds a credible reputation
for delivering on their commitments. One of our
commitments is offering flexible technology that can adapt
to our customers’ dynamic business and regulatory needs.”
Title21’s Outlook on the Future
When asked about the company’s five-year plan, Ms.
Fischer stated, “Title21 Health Solutions will continue to
build long-term strategic partnerships with the leading
innovators in each sector. The industries we serve are
constantly growing and evolving with new scientific
breakthroughs and advancements, so it is vital that we
continue to deliver technology that evolves and expands
with their needs. Title21 will continue to deliver innovative
solutions to support cell therapy, biotech, and regenerative
medicine organizations as well as focus on growing,
specialized areas such as gene therapies. We will continue
to support the reduction of medical errors through enabling
healthcare institutions to achieve interoperability of their
information systems with our solutions, such as EHRs and
other clinical systems.”
