What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to leverage my leadership skills in a dynamic environment focused on operational excellence and compliance.

I am a dedicated Center Manager with over 8 years of experience in the plasma collection industry. Leading teams of up to 40 staff members, I have successfully overseen daily operations, ensuring compliance with FDA and local regulations while enhancing donor productivity. My commitment to safety and quality control has resulted in significant improvements in processing times and donor satisfaction.

Throughout my career at Grifols, I have developed and implemented efficient operational procedures, managed budgets, and fostered a positive work environment through training and mentoring. My ability to collaborate with regional and corporate management has allowed me to achieve both center-specific and company-wide goals. I take pride in maintaining high standards of compliance and operational excellence, which are crucial in the healthcare sector.
