What I'm looking for

I seek a director-level role leading site readiness and start-up teams in a collaborative, quality-driven organization where I can improve timelines, mentor teams, and drive regulatory and process excellence.

I lead site readiness and clinical trial start-up with over 20 years of experience driving timely, compliant study activations across North America.

I have overseen North America start-up portfolios, delivered client milestones on time and within budget, and achieved an 80%+ say/do ratio by implementing process improvements and system reliability enhancements. I regularly support RFIs/RFPs, represent start-up at governance meetings, and act as an escalation point to align cross-functional teams.

I focus on continuous improvement, regulatory adherence, and team development, leveraging tools like Siebel CTMS, Veeva CTMS & TMF, goBalto Activate, and SAMs to optimize operations and quality.
