About Prabhu Shankar
I’m a passionate and experienced Food Safety & Regulatory Compliance leader with over 8 years of success in FDA/USDA-regulated environments, managing compliance systems, audits, and high-performing teams across multi-site operations. Currently leading 25+ direct reports, I specialize in risk-based quality systems (HACCP/GFSI-SQF), audit readiness, regulatory labeling, and cross-functional collaboration with operations, logistics, and commercial teams.With dual master’s degrees in Food Science and Project Management, I bring technical depth and executional excellence to initiatives such as zero-nonconformance audits, paperless quality transitions, real-time traceability programs and supporting product launches through cross-functional collaboration.I thrive in highly regulated, cross-functional environments across food, pharmaceutical, and consumer health industries—where scientific rigor, operational excellence, and people leadership are essential to delivering safe, compliant products and building trust.
