About Bernard Haines

Dynamic professional with extensive experience working in the CDMO industry, with 6 years of experience on cross-functional teams solving scientific, business and EHS challenges while championing best practices, collaboration and knowledge sharing. Proven ability to create a positive customer focused environment while supervising a team of 4 scientists. Responsible for leading multiple internal and external projects balancing needs and constraints between customers/internal stakeholders, technical teams and company strategy. Strong critical thinking, problem solving, leadership, and communication skills. Four-year track record of success overseeing analytical activities to ensure client expectations are met or exceeded and all deliverables and milestones are kept and completed in a timely manner or ahead of schedule. Adept at guiding collaborative cross-functional teams to consistently exceed client expectations and deliver on organizational objectives. Proven track record of improving processes, driving innovations and creating operational efficiencies. With over six years of experience in analytical process development and testing for biopharmaceuticals, I am a skilled and reliable analytical scientist who can deliver quality results and meet client expectations. I have worked with various analytical assays, including ELISA, SoloVPE, A280, and residual HCP, on in-process and release level formulated bio pharmaceuticals, and have successfully evaluated and developed methods for these assays. During my tenure at Thermo Fisher Scientific, I was responsible for leading multiple projects involving different client proteins, such as IGGs, bispecific and FC-fusion molecules, and managing revenue, deliverables, and timelines to support BLA filing and clinical manufacturing. I also trained and supervised a team of four scientists and served as a subject matter expert for plate-based and concentration assays. Additionally, I am passionate about environmental health and safety (EHS) and volunteered as an EHS representative for the analytical and formulations department, ensuring compliance with all policies and guidelines. I am eager to apply my analytical, leadership, and problem-solving skills to new challenges and opportunities in the biotechnology industry.
