What I'm looking for

I’m seeking roles where I can manage projects from resesrch and development to post market commercialization, lead regulatory compliance and qualification programs, partner with cross-functional teams, and collaborate directly with customers to exceed expectations.

I’m a Senior Regulatory Expert with 14+ years leading cross-functional initiatives, qualification programs, and compliance-driven projects. I coordinate complex product commercialization activities and apply risk-based decision-making to support global regulatory compliance across food contact, cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and medical device applications.

I direct external laboratory testing, review analytical data, and develop compliance documentation that keeps product lifecycles moving. I’ve streamlined regulatory workflows to support customer approvals and maintain regulatory information systems for operational efficiency and market readiness.

Highlights include completing 30+ product qualifications, managing compliance reviews for over 800 commercial products, and saving approximately $70K in testing costs. I also reduced qualification timelines by nearly six months and supported EU10/2011 business continuity through compliance transition activities aligned to purity requirements.

Beyond compliance execution, I lead continuous improvement through process standardization, stakeholder engagement, and knowledge transfer. I’ve trained and mentored more than 10 team members, authored technical documentation, and supported quality systems—bringing structure, clarity, and reliable outcomes to fast-paced environments.
