Create comprehensive execution plans within the sourcing process, integrating strategic and tactical inputs for seamless technical transfer. Orchestrate the implementation of E2E supply chains and individual manufacturing nodes across Drug Substance, Drug Product, and Secondary Packaging. Lead global cross-functional teams with a Lean and Continuous Improvement mindset, maintaining an uncompromising focus on outcomes and patient impact. Anticipate risks, critical dependencies, and strategic milestones, proactively driving issue resolution alongside transfer teams and governance bodies.
