About

With over 12 years of experience in the healthcare industry, including 6 years in advisory roles within Global Pharmacovigilance IT, I bring a wealth of expertise and a proven track record in driving digital transformation. My background combines a robust understanding of global healthcare processes with strong leadership in managing cross-functional teams and steering international project implementations. In recent years, my focus has shifted towards the strategic implementation of Generative AI (GenAI) and advanced AI solutions across diverse business areas. My mission: to achieve at least 30% time savings in daily operations—freeing up employees to focus on higher-value tasks and driving sustainable business impact. I design and execute AI-driven initiatives that optimize workflows, automate routine processes, and unlock new efficiencies, always with a people-centric approach. I have extensive experience in IT systems, case management, and vendor management, including participation in multiple inspections and audits. My expertise covers the design and deployment of information systems and technologies in global environments, business process analysis and reengineering, and ensuring compliance with FDA, EMA, and other international regulations. My core strengths include managing innovation in complex industrial settings, leading change management initiatives, and fostering collaboration between business and IT. I am highly skilled in project management, IT system validation, and the integration of AI-powered solutions for drug safety, pharmaceuticals, and broader healthcare applications. I am passionate about collaborating with industry leaders to shape the future of healthcare through AI, automation, and innovative IT solutions. Let’s connect to explore how we can drive meaningful transformation together.
