I’m a quality and compliance leader with 20 years of experience in building scalable, audit-ready systems across food, agrichemicals, CPG and other manufacturing sectors. From leading ISO 9001 certifications across multiple facilities to embedding HACCP and food safety principles into daily operations, I specialize in turning complex regulatory and operational challenges into structured, sustainable solutions. I’ve developed and implemented full-spectrum Quality Management Systems that align with business growth goals - supporting GMP-compliant customers, streamlining supplier oversight, and enabling international market expansion.

Key strengths: Food Safety compliance. ISO 9001:2015 implementation and certification. Third-party manufacturing oversight. Internal audits, training, and CAPA systems.
