He worked in Central drug-safety in 4 global companies and underwent several audits/inspections, including GMP.
Through these roles in various therapeutic areas,He have been using 'Big Data' well before the term was coined (and patient registries) to devise global Risk-Management strategies, reporting to Regulators, or support portfolio decisions.

I helped developing Health 2.0 London Chapter during its infancy and stayed as a full-time member thereafter to offer my experience to motivated innovators.
He has an expertise in record-management/compliance systems in a consulting-type capacity too. He has led and managed change and process-roll-out in global environments as well as centralisation activities.

 Being multi-lingual I travelled extensively; and having seen various economic and logistical disparities, I'm particularly interested in the opportunities in Emerging Markets.
