Chris’s work ethic and style assure the achievement of a company’s diverse objectives.

In South East Asia, Chris worked for 2 global pharmaceutical companies, both seeking managers interested in working overseas. Each company wanted a proactive approach to promoting diversity and inclusion in business operations and workflows. He added value by providing international experience and innovative thinking practices. In working successfully with people from around the world, he gave each company a cutting-edge advantage in work policies and platforms.

Chris provided his Quality expertise and developed partnering relationships by adapting to the different work and social cultures of each company. He leveraged his experience with various pharma companies and regulatory agencies to the successful application of best practice approaches throughout all Quality Control/Assurance processes.

Chris is a great Quality Lead for any start-up life sciences company.

Chris has worked for several bio/pharma start-up companies. In some cases, the Quality laboratories did not have any equipment, or the business site had not experienced their first audit. He was responsible for building Quality Control/Assurance departments, determining organizational structure, hiring teams and product manufacturing planning. This resulted in successful regulatory audits to obtain GMP manufacturing certificates, site commercial manufacturing, and approval to distribute medicinal products to targeted markets.

Start-up companies always face the challenge of working with limited resources. In start-ups, Chris assisted with hiring general contractors to perform all new equipment purchasing, intake, IQ/OQ/PQ, and he managed equipment calibration timelines, with QC/QA oversight and approval of all contractor activities. In addition, he contributed to hiring FTE laboratory personnel to establish essential laboratory workflows and processes such as 6S, Kanban, housekeeping, glass washing, gowning, storage unit alarm response, sample management and quality systems (deviations, investigations etc.). He also created lab work instructions (SOP’s and Protocols), enabling the companies to perform transfer work once new equipment were GMP released for use and prepared for commercial manufacturing.
