Mark Mikhael will be leading the executive team as the new chief executive officer; David D. Flynn, J.D. will act as Olympia’s new senior director of regulatory affairs, and Traci Collier joins as the director of regulatory affairs.

This, combined with his experience as a prosecutor for the Florida Department of Health, has equipped Flynn with a deeply nuanced understanding of regulatory practices and reliable patient safety. In his new role at Olympia, Flynn aims to help set the nationwide gold standard in regulatory compliance for 503A and 503B facilities.
Traci Collier brings a specialized background in patient safety and compliance, having most recently served as chief drug inspector for the South Carolina Board of Pharmacy.

As Olympia’s director of regulatory affairs, Collier is responsible for monitoring nationwide regulatory changes and navigating the proper protocols to obtain licensure in any state.
“I’m thrilled to be leading the dedicated team here at Olympia,” said Mikhael. “Compounding pharmacies like Olympia are increasing patient access to necessary medications, improving public health and safety and providing relief to patients during ongoing nationwide drug shortages.
