ABOUT ME
I am a seasoned Product Development and Scientific Operations leader with 15+ years of experience in nutraceuticals, functional foods, and regulated consumer product environments. Recognized for my ability to translate complex scientific concepts into commercially successful products, I have a proven track record of driving innovation, optimizing formulations, and scaling laboratory and manufacturing operations to support company growth.
​
Professional focal points include laboratory design and buildout, product formulation and commercialization, protein and functional ingredient systems, end-to-end R&D lifecycle management, cGMP and regulatory compliance, supplier and contract manufacturer management, cost optimization, and cross-functional leadership. I have led the design, build, and optimization of laboratory environments from the ground up, including equipment selection, workflow design, method development, and implementation of GLP and cGMP-compliant systems to ensure efficiency, data integrity, and regulatory readiness. My experience includes establishing analytical capabilities, developing testing programs, and creating scalable infrastructure that supports both early-stage innovation and commercial manufacturing.
​
In formulation, I bring extensive hands-on experience developing and optimizing a wide range of products, including powders, capsules, and functional systems, with a focus on performance, stability, taste, and manufacturability. This includes working with complex ingredient systems such as proteins, probiotics, botanicals, and specialty actives, as well as solving challenges related to solubility, flavor masking, bioavailability, and shelf-life. I have successfully led products from concept through commercialization, supporting pilot trials, scale-up, and process transfer while ensuring alignment with quality, regulatory, and cost targets.
​
Delivering results in these areas requires a balance of scientific rigor, operational discipline, and business acumen. I bring a hands-on, data-driven approach combined with strong communication, problem-solving, and project management skills to ensure solutions are not only technically sound, but also scalable, efficient, and aligned with business objectives.
