What I'm looking for

My journey in the pharmaceutical industry has been marked by a commitment to ensuring patient safety and adherence to global regulatory standards. I have successfully overseen pharmacovigilance teams, collaborated with international partners, and developed innovative AI-based tools for medical review.

In my role as Associate Manager at IQVIA, I led teams across Sri Lanka and India, focusing on the review of source documents and the identification of reportable adverse events. My expertise extends to quality assurance, training delivery, and supporting cross-functional pharmaceutical operations. I am passionate about leveraging my clinical insights and leadership skills to contribute to a forward-thinking pharmaceutical company.
