Executive Overview

Global technology executive leading IT for a multi-site clinical diagnostics manufacturing business with operations across North America, Europe, and Asia. I hold full accountability for enterprise applications, infrastructure, data, cybersecurity, and compliance in a GxP-regulated manufacturing environment, where continuous operation and audit readiness are the baseline expectations rather than aspirations.My work centers on large-scale enterprise modernization: SAP S/4HANA and ERP transformation, Oracle PLM, cloud migration and infrastructure strategy on AWS, and the manufacturing and quality systems that regulated production depends on — MES, LIMS, and eQMS. I’ve delivered these programs internationally, in environments where a production line cannot stop and a compliance finding is not an acceptable cost of change.What I’m known for is running technology as a business function rather than a service desk. That means operating lean, treating cybersecurity and regulatory readiness as design constraints rather than afterthoughts, and building the operational resilience that lets a business absorb disruption without losing ground. I’ve led IT due diligence and integration for acquisitions, and I partner closely with commercial, operations, quality, and R&D leadership to translate technology into decisions the business can act on.I build organizations designed to outlast me, with deliberate investment in leadership succession and internal talent pipelines. Twenty-five years across life sciences, manufacturing, and technology, with deep specialization in FDA, ISO 13485, SOX, and GDPR-regulated environments — I lead with the business problem and let the technology be the means.
