What I'm looking for

I seek a senior/regulatory role focused on product substance compliance, systems modernization, team leadership, and cross-functional collaboration within organizations valuing process improvement and regulatory excellence.

I am an experienced Regulatory Compliance Manager with a strong history of managing product regulated substance compliance across lighting, semiconductor, and manufacturing industries. I have led cross-functional teams, modernized compliance databases and tools, and driven successful implementations of PLM and compliance modules while ensuring adherence to RoHS, REACh, TSCA, Prop 65 and other global regulations.

I have delivered measurable results including large-scale regulatory program integrations, certification and testing oversight, and supplier/customer compliance support. I prioritize process improvement, team development, and practical implementation of compliance systems (Oracle, SAP, IMDS, ASSENT) to improve operational efficiency and reduce risk.
