What I'm looking for

I seek senior R&D/product development roles where I can lead formulation scale-up, tech transfers, and digital process improvements in a collaborative, regulatory-driven environment.

I am a product development and formulation leader with 22+ years delivering high-impact formulation development, technology transfers, and commercial launches across global markets.

I combine deep domain expertise in OSD and parenteral scale-up with digital process optimization and regulatory navigation (FDA, EMA, NMPA) to accelerate time-to-market and ensure product robustness.

I have led cross-functional teams, driven lifecycle management initiatives, and enabled multimillion-dollar savings through digital interventions and vendor optimization.

I seek to continue driving operational excellence, mentor scientific teams, and implement technology-driven solutions that improve efficiency and ensure regulatory compliance.
