About Me

Where Agile Meets
Pharmaceutical Precision

I am an independent Scrum Master, IT/Technical Project Manager, and Compliance Specialist with over 12 years of IT consulting experience — the past 8 years focused exclusively on pharmaceutical and life science organisations.

My expertise spans GxP system implementation, SAFe agile frameworks at scale, risk-based validation, and intelligent automation. I've led cross-functional teams of up to 11 engineers and built a track record with global leaders including Novo Nordisk and Novartis.

As founder of Pharma Management Consulting, I am a business partner of Valenta and work closely with Managing Director Sven De Groodt to help life science organisations modernise their CSV testing and validation documentation through AI-powered automation on UiPath — maintaining full compliance with GAMP 5, FDA CSA, and EU GMP requirements.
