What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters growth, values adaptability, and offers opportunities to leverage my diverse skill set in business development and operations.

I am a dynamic and adaptable professional with over 13 years of diverse experience in the Biotech, Pharma, and Life Sciences sectors, transitioning successfully into operations and supervisory roles within the Banking sector. My journey has equipped me with strong technical expertise, leadership skills, and a commitment to operational excellence. I thrive in fast-paced environments and have a proven ability to quickly learn and excel in new roles.

In my recent freelance roles, I have generated leads and closed deals for various businesses, including a Language Translation Agency and a local Healthcare Distributor. My experience at India Post Savings Bank involved managing day-to-day operations, implementing process improvements, and enhancing customer service protocols, which resulted in significant reductions in transaction times and complaints. I have also coordinated pharmaceutical product development projects, demonstrating my ability to manage logistics and drive project success.
