With 20 years of extensive experience in the pharmaceutical industry, I have had the opportunity to embrace a variety of roles that have significantly contributed to my professional growth.
I have served as both a Clinical Research Associate (CRA) and Clinical Research Manager (CRM), where I was responsible for overseeing clinical trials across diverse therapeutic areas, including Oncology and Vaccines among others..Additionally, I held the position of Senior Country Operations Manager, where I ensured the success of the Start-Up phase by submitting our clinical trials to the Competent Authorities and facilitating the smooth initiation of projects.

Since 2022, following the implementation of the new EU Clinical Trials Regulation (EUCTR), I moved to a Regional role as the Head of Regional Submission Leads. where, I have been privileged to coordinate a dedicated team of Regional Submission Leads. Together, we diligently execute and centrally manage all EU submissions for clinical trials through the Clinical Trial Information System (CTIS) portal.
