“Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do.” — Steve Jobs Delivering medications to patients in need — on time, with impeccable quality — and enabling the development and launch of breakthrough therapies is deeply fulfilling. It is a privilege that gives great meaning to my professional life. I value partnering with customers who share the same mission and leading high-performing teams built on shared values. With more than 25 years of leadership experience in pharmaceutical development, project management, operations and general management, at pharmaceutical companies and contract organizations, I understand the needs of different stakeholders and guide myself and my teams towards service excellence. I appreciate shaping successful strategies and taking ownership of execution and governance in every aspect. I am inspired by the next generation — learning from them, supporting their growth, and staying committed to helping protect our planet for their future.
