What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead global clinical delivery, operational strategy, vendor partnerships, quality oversight, and scalable process improvement across complex clinical studies.

At GSK, I lead multiple global clinical studies across infectious disease and oncology, shaping operational strategy, quality, budgets, timelines, risk mitigation, vendor models, and resource allocation.

I've led end-to-end CRO selection, site feasibility, recruitment and retention strategies, study compliance, and inspection readiness. As the Study Accountable Person, I resolve complex delivery challenges with cross-functional teams, external partners, and senior leadership.

Previously at Novartis, Roche, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Amgen, and Biogen Idec, I delivered global oncology, vaccine, neurology, and Phase 3 studies. I also build capability through mentoring, onboarding frameworks, decentralized trial approaches, and AI-enabled process improvement.
