Professional Summary

With over a decade of experience in project and portfolio management, I have a deep understanding of strategic planning, governance, and operational execution in dynamic R&D environments. Most recently serving as Director of Project & Portfolio Management at iOmx Therapeutics AG, I drove the implementation of innovative methodologies to enhance transparency, efficiency, and decision-making across drug development programs.

My core strength lies in bridging strategic intent with operational feasibility—translating complex goals into executable roadmaps. I specialize in designing and optimizing project management frameworks, enhancing cross-functional collaboration, and enabling data-driven governance through high-quality reporting tools.

As a strategic advisor and hands-on leader, I empower teams to navigate uncertainty, evaluate risk, and maintain momentum on key initiatives. Known for my solution-oriented mindset, collaborative leadership style, and openness to innovation, I have consistently delivered value by aligning project execution with corporate strategy—ensuring both scientific rigor and business impact.
