## About

```text
At Nextrove, I own end-to-end service delivery governance for two tier-1 pharmacovigilance clients and serve as their primary escalation point. I lead root cause analysis, work with client business leaders to define service levels, and oversee operations for a team of five.

At IQVIA, I owned service delivery and technical governance for five tier-1 platform implementations and led a team of 12 across the US, EU, and Japan. I introduced AI/ML and Python-based automation that saved hundreds of hours across projects and cut delivery timelines by 30%; earlier, at ArisGlobal, I delivered implementation and support services for Total Safety Suite.
