What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a quality & food-safety role where I can lead HACCP/legislative compliance, drive KPI-led root-cause analysis, and manage supplier investigations in high-pressure manufacturing.

I’m a results-driven Technical Quality Professional and MBA graduate with 10+ years of cross-functional experience in quality control, internal auditing, and organizational administration. I specialize in HACCP (Level 3) and legislative compliance, consistently delivering approvals that maintain 100% adherence to specifications in high-pressure manufacturing environments.

I lead complex supplier investigations and operational excellence through KPI-led Root Cause Analysis, partnering across departments to integrate technical standards across production. From directing staff training and creating bespoke progression plans to producing technical and customer reporting, I focus on strong controls, clear documentation, and measurable continuous improvement.
