At the helm of The Judge Group's IT projects, my focus has been on seamlessly transitioning Alexion Pharmaceuticals into AstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals' service infrastructure. A pivotal part of my role involved the strategic integration of cloud-based services, where I led the migration of over 350 virtual servers to Amazon Web Services, and the overhaul of disaster recovery systems for numerous applications. My approach is characterized by meticulous project scheduling and an unwavering commitment to aligning cross-functional teams. The orchestration of a comprehensive hardware refresh for two major pharmaceutical data centers stands as a testament to our team's capabilities. By fostering collaborative relationships with stakeholders and third-party vendors, we've ensured cutting-edge cyber risk management and the implementation of robust security measures.
