About Wima Stefanutti

I spent over a decade as an operator and board member at a contract manufacturing organization in the life sciences industry overseeing tech transfers, standing up manufacturing sites, managing client relationships, and building the project management infrastructure from the ground up.I know what it takes to bring a client\'s product into a contract manufacturing facility by overseeing the full transfer lifecycle from the client side: vendor qualification, regulatory coordination, validation, and schedule execution under real pressure. I\'ve sat across the table from clients in business reviews and across the boardroom in strategic decisions. My edge is operational clarity in complex, regulated environments, knowing where transfers break down, what clients actually need.Beyond pharma, I\'ve evaluated early-stage investment opportunities as a member of an angel investor community, reviewed hundreds of startup pitch decks, and led pitch meetings as a community manager. I\'m fluent in English, Spanish, French, and Italian and have worked across the US, LATAM, the Bahamas, and Europe. Currently exploring opportunities at the intersection of pharma operations, business acquisition, and strategic advisory.
