ABOUT JOSHUA GARRIGA
I was recently affected by the FDA\'s Reduction in Force and am now exploring new opportunities where I can continue driving meaningful transformation and operational excellence. Transforming complexity into clarity—that\'s my specialty. Whether it\'s streamlining processes, modernizing systems, or leading cross-functional teams, I thrive on untangling challenges and delivering results that matter. As a strategic operations and change leader with 15+ years of experience, I\'ve led large-scale initiatives across the federal, nonprofit, and commercial sectors. At the FDA, I drove enterprise-wide improvements to regulatory workflows and legacy IT systems, enhancing efficiency and decision-making in compliance-driven environments. PMP and Prosci certified, I bring both structure and tactical empathy to transformation efforts—balancing disciplined execution with a human-centered approach. I\'ve been honored to work alongside world-class scientists, engineers, and policy experts tackling critical issues, and I\'m energized by opportunities to create lasting impact. I\'m currently seeking senior roles in program management, operational excellence, or strategic operations. Let\'s connect if you\'re looking for a leader who turns complexity into clarity—and drives meaningful change.
