Senior quality & compliance audit lead with 10+ years driving GxP compliance, risk-based audits, and continuous improvement.
ZimbabweWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Senior Quality and Compliance professional with 10+ years of experience in regulated environments, specializing in GxP auditing, internal controls, regulatory compliance, and quality systems. I lead risk-based audits end-to-end, ensuring alignment between processes, controls, and regulatory requirements.
I’ve led 200+ internal, external, and regulatory audits across manufacturing and operational environments, achieving >90% compliance rates across multiple facilities. I supported regulatory inspections (COFEPRIS) with zero critical findings, and I developed structured audit reporting frameworks that improved clarity, traceability, and corrective action effectiveness.
I also designed and implemented full Quality Management Systems (QMS) including CAPA, deviations, and change control. Known for critical thinking in complex audit scenarios, I evaluate CAPA effectiveness, manage audit observation closure, and train cross-functional teams so compliance becomes a sustainable operating model.
