FARMACEUT, MASTER OF SCIENCE (M.SC)

Professional ProfileAn outgoing and committed professional with excellent inter-personal and communicational skills. A dedicated and skilled project manager, with extensive international experience and proven ability to successfully manage medical device, drug discovery & drug development projects (from target validation to pre-clinical candidate declaration & clinical phases).

My main asset is that I combine a dual profile of an experienced manager with the proficiency and background of a skilled scientist. The above is highlighted and proved both in my academic credentials and achievements as well as in my current career accomplishments. The above combination of the two most intrinsically crucial disciplines in Pharma/Life-Sciences industrial settings is what proved to be the key of my current professional goals and daily aspirations. Namely, I strive to bring value to the organisation I work with, by combining knowledge and execution for the benefit of all stakeholders.

I am a dedicated team player, able to support my team while also working in a disciplined and organised way by myself. I strive in an open/international professional environment in which i can manage and execute complex projects in an accurate and efficient way.

PROFESSIONAL HIGHLIGHTS: Consolidated experience in managing multiple complex projects with consistent on-

time and accurate delivery Excellent capability to create, manage and develop relationship with clients and

collaborators to support pipeline growth. Ability to work in a fast paced driven environment while keeping calm and focused. Ability to build, manage and develop effective cross-functional teams. Knowledge of Drug Discovery & development processes, guidelines and regulations Strong ability to work in matrix organizational structures
