About

Professional summary

I am a PhD-trained project and operations professional with more than 10 years of experience leading complex scientific initiatives across biotechnology, clinical genomics, and healthcare.

I have worked in highly regulated environments where precision, compliance, and cross-functional coordination are essential. My background combines scientific depth with operational execution, allowing me to translate complex technical information into practical decisions and measurable outcomes.

Throughout my career, I have managed international stakeholders, multidisciplinary teams, and competing priorities while keeping projects aligned with strategic goals. I am comfortable working across planning, execution, process improvement, and performance monitoring.

I have also contributed to technology transfer, product development, and continuous improvement initiatives, with a strong focus on operational excellence and collaboration. My experience spans Brazil, Argentina, and Spain, which has strengthened my ability to work effectively in international settings.

I bring a structured, analytical, and communication-driven approach to leadership. I value clear priorities, efficient workflows, and building strong relationships with scientists, clinicians, and business stakeholders.

I am open to remote opportunities worldwide and interested in roles where I can contribute to project delivery, scientific operations, and organizational growth.
