Available to hire
I am a senior manager with extensive experience leading global digital transformations in pharma, biotech, and manufacturing. I partner with business and IT to design time-to-market SAP/S4HANA, MES, and QMS transformations, drive data migration, validation, testing, and go-live across multi-country landscapes, and ensure regulatory compliance (FDA, EMA, CFR21, SOX) and GAMP5 risk controls. I also lead cross-functional teams and vendors, shape governance, budgets, and transition strategies to deliver sustainable processes across complex landscapes.
I thrive in matrix environments, bridging manufacturing science, MES, DCS, and SAP to align processes with business goals. My hands-on approach spans DevOps, ITIL/ITSM, OCM, change management, and release operations, with a focus on global program delivery, cutover planning, and post-Go-Live excellence. I enjoy mentoring teams, building strong partnerships with suppliers, and driving continuous improvement across cloud, datacenter, and on-prem landscapes.
