About

COO / General Manager with 15+ years of international leadership experience in the United States, Brazil, Northern Ireland, and the Czech Republic. I enjoy building organizations, improving processes, and helping teams perform at their best. As a business generalist with strong operational and commercial instincts, I thrive in dynamic environments where growth, change, and execution come together. My experience includes scaling organizations, operational excellence, supply chain and process optimization, and leading teams in regulated environments. I have worked extensively with GMP, ISO 17025, and ISO 27001 standards. My conviction is that sustainable business success starts with great people, clear goals, and a hands-on approach to execution.
