About Me
I am a highly experienced leader in the field of Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products (ATMPs), with over a decade of expertise spanning scientific research, regulatory compliance, and operational management. I have held senior roles in renowned organizations, where I led multidisciplinary teams, oversaw cell and tissue banking operations, coordinated several ATMPs development projects and ensured adherence to ISO 9001, AABB, GMP, and GDP standards.
My background combines hands-on laboratory management with strategic business development, focusing on continuous process improvement, risk-based thinking, and stakeholder engagement. I have successfully managed budgets, optimized resources, and implemented quality control programs for cryopreserved products and ATMPs. My regulatory knowledge is complemented by direct experience with EMA, including scientific advice procedures.
