Summary
Are you looking for an experienced leader with a history of successful and broad-quality experiences within the life science industry? I am passionate about quality and I was praised for my adaptability and creativity to produce innovative solutions and drive and motivate my peers to that path on quality with me! I gained maturity and leadership experiences during 15 years of life science while working in various QA positions covering the entire QMS and product life cycle, from development to discontinuation. I am known for providing lasting solutions based on a deep, multidimensional understanding of the challenge, which is the essence of quality. In the past, I have motivated teams and maintained or improved their KPIs. Thanks to my experience, I am also familiar with the function of any interfaces (including Third Parties), which allows me to conduct my tasks safely, promptly, and quickly and thus to be an effective "servant" leader who drives quality oversight and has strategic foresight at global, product or project level. I make moderate risk-based decisions on QA matters and know to communicate risks appropriately to management. I have shown the "right" risk mindset regarding Health Authority inspection outcomes or commitments upon finding to health authorities. I coordinated and contributed to business-improvement and harmonization projects across global (quality) level, with pleasure and in a proactive manner, leading the organization to be "ahead of the game" with the third parties as well authorities by applying the leading and most recent mainstream supply chain approaches in the industry.
