Compliance leadership, built for complexity and designed to scale.
CMU Consulting supports regulated life sciences organizations through fractional leadership, structured program development, and technology-enabled compliance support.
The focus is practical: strengthen infrastructure, reduce friction, and create more scalable compliance capability.
What Makes CMU Consulting Different
CMU Consulting combines fractional leadership, structured methodologies, and technology to support compliance in a way that is both credible and operationally effective. The goal is not simply to advise, but to help organizations build stronger systems that can hold under real-world conditions.
Fractional Leadership, When You Need It
Senior compliance leadership without the need for a full-time structure, providing stability during growth, transition, or change.
Structured, Repeatable Approach
Proprietary frameworks such as COMPASS™ provide clarity, direction, and a practical path forward.
Technology-Enabled Compliance
The Compliance Decision Engine is designed to reduce routine friction and improve consistency in decision-making.
Built for Real Environments
Support is grounded in the realities of regulated organizations, where compliance must operate alongside business execution.
Founder & Leadership
CMU Consulting was founded by Carla-Marie Ulerie, a compliance leader with deep experience supporting pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and medical device organizations through program development, operational complexity, and strategic transition.
Her work spans both hands-on execution and leadership-level advisory, with a focus on helping organizations strengthen compliance infrastructure, improve clarity in decision-making, and reduce the operational drag that often slows progress.
CMU Consulting reflects a practical belief: compliance should support the business through structure, consistency, and sound judgment, not function as a bottleneck.
Depending on client needs, engagements may include fractional leadership support or additional experienced professionals aligned to the work.

How CMU Consulting Builds Capability
Compliance functions are most effective when teams understand not just what to do, but why it matters.
Rather than creating dependency, the focus is on building clarity, capability, and confidence within the team. This includes structured guidance, practical training, and consistent reinforcement of the reasoning behind key decisions and expectations.
When teams understand the “why,” they operate with greater consistency, make stronger decisions, and require less escalation. Over time, this reduces friction, strengthens execution, and allows compliance to function as a more effective partner to the business.
The result is not just a stronger compliance program, but a stronger organization overall.
