About

I’m proud to lead GSK’s Global Supply Chain, a team of 26,000 colleagues united by a passion to make and supply medicines and vaccines to positively impact the health of the millions of people around the world. We innovate across every process in our world class supply chain, using science, data and cutting-edge technology to deliver faster and better and at the highest quality. As a mechanical engineer, I’m passionate about science and technology and the positive impact it can have in society. I believe in creating an environment in which people can thrive and where we are learning and thinking about how to do things better together. I am also responsible for GSK’s sustainability approach and I’m a board member of ViiV Healthcare, our majority-owned HIV business. Among the topics you’ll find me talking about on LinkedIn are sustainability, manufacturing, innovation, diversity, equity and inclusion. Follow me and join the conversation.
