- leading manufacturing- and quality-performance transformation—including implementing process improvements, leveraging automation, selective outsourcing, and advanced analytics—for generic pharmaceuticals, consumer, and medical-product clients
- directing organizational design and improvement efforts for supply-chain, quality, and regulatory affairs to achieve the next frontier of quality, performance, and efficiency aspirations for medical-device, pharmaceuticals, and consumer-health companies
- leading diagnostics; planning; and quality, compliance, and remediation for leading medical-device and pharma manufacturers, including the restart of a facilities shutdown due to significant quality and compliance issues
- developing a comprehensive internal action plan to promote adoption of quality best practices for a major US regulator
