Associate Medical Director

I am a physician-executive with an MD and MBA, bringing more than 11 years of progressive experience across regulatory affairs, medical affairs, and pharmacovigilance. Over the past five years at ClinChoice, I have deliberately expanded my scope across all three pillars of pharma medicine, building a broad and practical understanding of the industry.

I specialize in aggregate safety reporting, benefit-risk evaluation, and audit-ready compliance. I have co-authored PSUR/PBRER reports end-to-end for a multinational consumer-health portfolio and have worked across Health Canada, FDA, EMA, and ICH-GCP frameworks. I am comfortable translating complex clinical and safety data into clear recommendations for executive, KOL, and health-authority stakeholders.

My experience also includes medical affairs leadership, where I have driven evidence-generation projects, built scientific literature databases, and supported product-lifecycle strategy. I have partnered closely with R&D, regulatory, and pharmacovigilance teams to align medical strategy with business and compliance goals.

In regulatory affairs, I have reviewed and approved large volumes of promotional assets, redesigned processes to reduce workload by 30%, and maintained zero regulatory findings across external audits. I also helped architect a claims library with more than 1,600 approved claims, which contributed to recognition through the J&J MedTech Inspire Award.

Alongside my industry work, I remain an actively practicing physician. I have ongoing telehealth experience, have led multidisciplinary clinical teams, and have maintained direct patient care to keep my clinical judgment current. My background includes surgical training and public-health clinical governance work with the Department of Health.

I hold a Global MBA from The University of Western Australia, a Postgraduate Diploma in Business Management from the Asian Institute of Management, a Doctor of Medicine from De La Salle Health Sciences Institute, and a BS in Biochemistry from De La Salle University. I am fluent in English, Mandarin, and Tagalog, and I am based in the Philippines.
