Cross-Functional Program & IT Leadership Across Life Sciences: Clinical, Safety, Quality, and Enterprise Platforms

This page highlights representative life sciences programs and projects I’ve led across clinical development, safety, quality, R&D, EH&S, supply chain, and enterprise IT.

My experience spans both consulting engagements and in-house leadership roles, with responsibility for program governance, delivery execution, vendor oversight, validation coordination, and inspection readiness in regulated environments.

The examples below are intentionally summarized for clarity and mobile readability, reflecting work delivered within boutique, emerging, and global life sciences organizations.
