Experience

1. Therapeutic Area Group Head - Rare Disease and Blood Disorders - Director, Clinical Supply Chain

   Sanofi

   Mar 2022 — Present

   In my role as group head, I ensure the training, coaching, motivation, and development of individuals, driving the efficiency of my team to conduct studies and deliver Investigational Medicinal Products (IMP) within corporate KPIs. I provide strong support in clinical trial supply management, proactively and effectively monitoring my team\'s activity to maximize their capabilities, performance, and overall utility. Additionally, I develop people and their training to adapt to Sanofi\'s ongoing digital transformation and use of AI. As a CS TAGH, I am responsible for ensuring effective oversight of project and study management in the therapeutic areas I oversee, ensuring study and project process standardization, identifying synergies within all studies/programs of the TA, and monitoring adherence to clinical milestones and budget. I also instill an inspection readiness mindset within my team, ensuring oversight of the preparation and responses to audit/inspection reports for findings. Additionally, I ensure that evolution of the Therapeutic Area is well understood by CSCO leadership and implement long term strategic plans as new modalities enter the Rare and Rare Blood areas within Sanofi\'s pipeline. In this role, I execute excellent communication, negotiation, and problem-solving skills. I am highly organized utilizing effective time management and project management methods.
