About me
I am a vaccine manufacturing leader with global experience across the US and Europe, currently leading mRNA technology transfer to establish Moderna’s largest manufacturing facility in the region. I have a strong track record in advanced therapeutics, including overseeing DNA production for personalized medicines in the US, and prior experience at Merck (MSD). I hold a Master’s in Chemical Engineering from Cornell University and I am currently an Executive MBA candidate at the University of Oxford. I specialize in complex, quality-driven, lean operations and I am now focused on transitioning into strategic business roles, with the ambition to drive science-led decisions at a global level.
