Description

With 12+ years of experience in pharma sterile vaccines manufacturing, I support manufacturers in building robust, inspection-ready quality systems, without compromising operational efficiency.

I specialize in sterile environments, validation strategy, and contamination control, with strong expertise in Annex 1 implementation and the mindset shift it requires. My approach goes beyond compliance: I help teams embed risk-based thinking into daily operations.

Working at the intersection of science, GMP regulations, and manufacturing reality, I translate complex requirements (EU GMP, 21 CFR, ISO standards) into pragmatic, sustainable solutions that stand up to audits and to real-life constraints.
