About

Pharmaceutical industry can be such a small world, especially in the field of oncology. Meeting many distinguished ladies and gentlemen in this industry has been my pleasure and privilege over the last 26 years, and I look forward to the next such meetings. Let us meet and create! Currently as the registered head of production (AMWHV 13), I am in charge of all matters related to the production of human medicinal products (mainly oncology medicines) manufactured according to EU GMP guideline that are sold mainly in Germany/EU and also in the rest of the world. I am also the head for the business unit GMP consulting within AqVida.
