En résumé

I have spent my career in Research and Development mainly for pharmaceutical and food companies. The experiences and competencies I acquired in international and complex environments are centered on techniques and technologies for life science research. During the past ten years, I also developed managerial experience, leading a service laboratory.
Very focused with a comprehensive knowledge of diverse areas such as genomics, laboratory information systems, automation, or service providing, I have a consistent track record of successful initiatives that improved efficiency, reduced operating costs and increased productivity.
