  • Demonstrated success managing complex, cross-functional projects with aggressive timelines and multiple stakeholders.
  • Strong understanding of technology transfer, process validation, and cGMP manufacturing workflows.
  • Proven ability to influence cross-functional teams and drive alignment without direct authority.
  • Highly organized with the ability to balance structure and execution in a fast-paced, evolving environment.
  • Strong risk management and problem-solving skills, with the ability to anticipate challenges and implement practical solutions.
