Career Highlights
. Established a new function within manufacturing technology, developing
computerized process models and simulations in support of new and
existing systems; the simulations contributed to critical utility system
changes providing a four fold increase in throughput; identified the
root cause for mixing problems on a scale up effort for a biotechnology
process. (Sanofi Pasteur)
. Saved $250K by eliminating simulation project outsourcing and
establishing an effective internal group, increasing the number of
simulation studies from 10-15 to 25. (Sanofi Pasteur)
. Created detailed process design documents for 50 manufacturing processes
and 25 support processes at the plant; supervised 150 employees in
software training. (Sanofi Pasteur)
. Developed and implemented a computerized system validation program,
enabling timely FDA approval for 3 new buildings; directed 50
consultants from 5 contract firms and an internal staff of 5 validation
engineers. (Sanofi Pasteur)
. Managed 20-30 independent contractors in addition to 35 staff
consultants, coordinating nationwide service delivery for projects and
corporate initiatives ranging in cost and scope from small dollar, two-
week-long projects to million-dollar, 18-24 month-long assignments.
(Lloyd's)
. Designed an FDA-approved medical device design control process for a
limited manufacturing facility. (Lloyd's)
. Generated and carried out validation master plans for clients; conducted
audits and assessments geared toward reconciliation of FDA warnings, as
well as consent decree. (Lloyd's)
. Formulated compliance solutions as the laboratory systems' technical
lead for 50 globally-active laboratory systems and instruments, which
necessitated detailed cross-examination of 700+ systems. (Lloyd's)
. Reduced unnecessary, ineffectual processes supported by expensive
software solutions by re-engineering/automating processes and downsizing
personnel with no loss of service levels. Saved $3 M. (Focus
Technologies)
. Formulated and executed an information technology quality system for
clinical laboratory software development. (SmithKline)
