Detailed Life Sciences Project Portfolio
This portfolio highlights representative life sciences projects I’ve led across clinical, safety, quality, R&D, and enterprise IT. Each project follows a problem-action-result structure to showcase leadership, delivery excellence, and measurable impact in regulated environments.
Projects cover both consulting engagements and in-house leadership roles across boutique, emerging, and global life sciences organizations.
Project 1: Enterprise PMO Uplift for Biopharmaceutical R&D
Led PMO maturity assessment and governance uplift for clinical and R&D IT initiatives, standardizing project intake, portfolio oversight, and executive decision-making.
Problem:
The client lacked standardized governance and project intake processes for clinical operations and R&D IT initiatives, causing delays and misaligned priorities.
Action:
Led PMO maturity assessment and governance uplift. Standardized project intake, portfolio oversight, and executive decision-making. Established dashboards and reporting for executive stakeholders
Result:
Improved transparency, reduced project delays by 20%, and enhanced executive decision-making.
Project 2: SaaS-Based eTMF Implementation
Led SaaS eTMF vendor selection, configuration, and validation to streamline clinical trial documentation and ensure regulatory compliance.
Problem:
Manual and disparate trial master file systems slowed clinical operations.
Action:
Managed vendor selection, system configuration, validation, and deployment across Phase III trials. Developed SOPs, coordinated cross-functional teams, and ensured GxP-compliant inspection readiness.
Result:
Deployed eTMF across Phase III trials, reducing document retrieval time by 40% and achieving full regulatory compliance.
Project 3: Oracle to Veeva Supply Chain Data Migration
Directed the migration of legacy supply chain data from Oracle to Veeva, ensuring validated operations and data integrity.
Problem:
Legacy Oracle supply chain systems needed migration to Veeva to support validated operations.
Action:
Executed data mapping, migration strategy, and validation. Coordinated internal and vendor teams and developed dashboards to track progress.
Result:
Completed migration with zero critical errors, ensuring regulatory compliance and streamlined operations.
Project 4: Clinical Data Portal Development
Program-managed the design and deployment of a clinical data portal integrating multiple sources to enhance collaboration across R&D teams.
Problem:
Clinical teams lacked consolidated access to therapeutic area data, slowing collaboration.
Action:
Integrated multiple data sources, ensured compliance with security and regulatory standards, and deployed the portal for multi-site collaboration.
Result:
Reduced data access time by 50% and enabled collaborative decision-making across global R&D programs.
Project 5: Enterprise Disaster Recovery Implementation
Directed enterprise-wide disaster recovery strategy, implementing redundant systems and validating operational readiness.
Problem:
Inconsistent disaster recovery capabilities put critical operations at risk.
Action:
Implemented redundant systems, conducted validation testing, and trained operational teams. Aligned policies with SOX and industry standards.
Result:
Achieved validated enterprise-wide DR readiness, reducing potential downtime from days to hours.
Project 6: GxP-Compliant IT Governance & Inspection Readiness
Strengthened IT governance to support GxP systems and regulatory inspections, improving audit readiness.
Problem:
The organization required strengthened IT governance to support GxP systems, regulatory inspections, and ongoing audit readiness.
Action:
Developed and enforced GxP-compliant IT SOPs, managed validation oversight, change control, and CAPA support in partnership with Quality, IT, and business leadership.
Result:
Achieved sustained inspection readiness with no critical IT findings and improved audit confidence across regulated systems.
Project 7: Clinical Trial Management System (CTMS) Replacement
Managed replacement of a legacy CTMS platform, improving clinical trial visibility, reporting, and operational efficiency.
Problem:
The legacy CTMS platform could not support evolving clinical operations and reporting requirements.
Action:
Oversaw requirements definition, vendor coordination, system integration, testing, and validation across clinical operations, data management, and IT stakeholders.
Result:
Delivered a modernized CTMS solution, improving trial visibility, reporting accuracy, and operational efficiency across global studies.
Project 8: Clinical Safety & Argus Data Migration
Led migration of safety data into a validated Argus environment, ensuring compliance and uninterrupted pharmacovigilance operations.
Problem:
The organization needed to migrate safety data into a validated Argus environment without disrupting ongoing operations.
Action:
Planned and executed data migration and validation, coordinating vendors, internal IT, and safety teams.
Result:
Completed validated migration with zero critical data issues, enabling compliant and uninterrupted safety reporting.
Project 9: Vendor Selection & FSP Onboarding for Clinical Programs
Directed vendor selection and onboarding of Functional Service Providers (FSPs) to support multiple Phase III clinical programs.
Problem:
Rapid expansion of clinical programs required onboarding FSPs while maintaining delivery quality and governance.
Action:
Coordinated vendor selection, contract management, onboarding governance, and integration into clinical and IT operating models. Established performance metrics and reporting structures.
Result:
Successfully onboarded FSPs supporting multiple Phase III programs while maintaining delivery timelines and quality standards.
Project 10: Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery Program Establishment
Established a validated BC/DR framework for critical life sciences IT systems, reducing operational risk.
Problem:
The organization lacked a formal, tested Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery (BC/DR) framework.
Action:
Designed and implemented BC/DR strategy, recovery procedures, and validation testing with cross-functional participation, aligned with regulatory expectations.
Result:
Established validated BC/DR capability, significantly reducing operational risk and improving enterprise resilience.
