Biography

I am the Chief Research Officer at Exxopharm, bringing more than 30 years of experience spanning clinical pharmacy, pharmaceutical research, regulatory strategy, drug development, and patient-centered healthcare.

My career began in pharmaceutical sales with Pfizer before transitioning into pharmaceutical research and clinical pharmacy.

Over the years, I have worked alongside physicians, healthcare professionals, and multidisciplinary teams to optimize medication therapy, improve patient outcomes, and advance evidence-based healthcare.

I have extensive experience in clinical pharmacy practice, medication therapy management, utilization review, pharmaceutical research, regulatory affairs, pharmacovigilance, and healthcare consulting. My work has focused on ensuring the safe and effective use of medications while supporting healthcare systems, pharmaceutical organizations, and medical device manufacturers.

I have also contributed to scientific research involving oral dosage form development, active pharmaceutical ingredients, excipients, drug safety, and predictive dissolution methodologies.

Throughout my career, I have remained committed to improving patient care, advancing pharmaceutical science, and mentoring healthcare professionals.

As I approach retirement, I continue to enjoy consulting, research, and sharing my knowledge with healthcare organizations while remaining passionate about innovation in pharmacy and patient care.
