I help transform scientific innovation into trusted products that drive commercial success.  With more than 26 years of leadership in pharmaceutical and nutraceutical manufacturing, I have delivered safe, compliant, and commercially successful products within highly regulated manufacturing environments operating under cGMP requirements.  Throughout my career, I have led manufacturing, packaging, pilot production, and commercial scale-up initiatives that consistently delivered quality, operational efficiency, and cost control.  I have partnered closely with Quality, Supply Chain, MS&T, Engineering, Procurement, and Regulatory teams, serving as the technical and operational escalation point for complex manufacturing challenges.  My experience includes P&L management, capacity expansion initiatives, major equipment installations, and leadership of cross-functional teams of 20–40+ professionals.  My background in contract manufacturing and MS&T enables me to build scalable, compliant operations that support long-term commercial growth.

My specialty is bridging the gap between scientific innovation and commercial execution. Throughout my career, I have led research, formulation, manufacturing, technology transfer, regulatory support, and operational improvement for pharmaceutical and nutraceutical products from concept through commercialization.  I thrive on solving complex formulation, manufacturing, and commercialization challenges while building high-performing technical organizations.
