Project Description:
Played the role of Infrastructure Project Manager for Project Karl at Johnson & Johnson to manage end to end scope of a new site build out at South San Francisco. Expansion in Bay Area is prioritized due to recent Janssen R&D global innovation analysis. Establishing a research hub that is able to act as a magnet for innovation and talent is primary motive behind this initiative.
J&J acquired Human Performance Institute which led to the site buildout at Orlando, Florida. Johnson & Johnson Services, Inc.
