Precision at the interface of drug and packaging.
I have spent more than three decades turning complex drug-device compatibility questions into validated processes, market strategies and products that reach patients.
A career defined by
technical rigour.
I work where the molecule meets the container. Across Procter & Gamble, Janssen Pharmaceutica, PwC, Pfizer and eighteen years at Datwyler Healthcare, I have built a career on one question: what does it take for a rubber component, a syringe and a biologic to behave predictably, batch after batch, in every market that inspects them?
As Global Platform Leader for prefilled syringes and cartridges I owned both halves of that question — the technical one and the commercial one. I read where the parenteral market was moving, secured the investment to get there first, and led development teams from user requirement to qualified launch.
I am also the person companies call when a programme has stopped moving. A stalled sterilisation validation, a customer nobody has answered, a plant with no qualification framework: I relocate, learn the science, replace what is not working and deliver a documented result.
Today I coordinate QA engineering teams in pharmaceutical manufacturing, and I remain convinced of the same thing I was convinced of in 1990: packaging is not a detail at the end of the process. It is the last thing standing between a medicine and a patient.
Expertise
Core CompetenciesPlatform & Portfolio Strategy
