SKILLS
ABOUT CATARINA GOMES DE SOUSA
I work at the intersection of scientific operations and digital transformation, supporting the modernisation of laboratory systems in regulated environments.With a background in laboratory science and quality management, I understand the operational realities, regulatory constraints, and technical precision required in accredited settings. Over time, my role evolved naturally from laboratory and quality functions into digital projects and system modernisation, where I began leading initiatives that improved workflows, strengthened cross-team alignment, and enhanced data integrity.In recent years, I have focused on laboratory systems transformation, contributing to the migration and optimisation of LIMS environments, supporting digital adoption across teams, and coordinating between scientific stakeholders and digital specialists. Projects such as the rollout of 110 Windows 10 tablets across multiple laboratories and the implementation of ISO/IEC 17025 frameworks reflect both operational impact and structured change management.I bring a pragmatic approach to digital transformation: aligning business needs, technical constraints, and regulatory requirements to deliver sustainable improvements. I am particularly interested in roles that involve modernising scientific or regulated environments through structured digital strategy and cross-functional collaboration.
