Über mich

In 2021 I regretfully had to resign as Managing Director of Central Glass Germany for family reasons, after having been with this great company for almost 5 years. Today I live in the Basel region again and support pharmaceutical companies in Switzerland or abroad that have a need for interim management / project management in areas such as business management, site/plant management, technical operations or CMC management. I have 20+ years of experience in the chemical and pharmaceutical industry (Novartis, Central Glass Germany, Idorsia), with a Ph.D. (“Dr.rer.nat”) degree in Medicinal Chemistry and an MBA degree in Business Management. Throughout manifold leadership positions in pharma, I developed strong core competencies in general management, R&D and technical operations. These include (external) GMP manufacturing, Lean operations, quality assurance, CMC project management, technical transfer, scale-up, validation/qualification, change control and drug life cycle management.
