  Maurepas 2015 - maintenant Consulting Engineer (agap2) - Company: BAXTER Biosciences in Neuchâtel (Switzerland) - Department: Technical Process Science & Technology Operations - LifeCycle Management for Recombinant:
  
  • Management of Tech Ops Project Portfolio :
  -Collect projects proposal from local Tech Ops teams and insure that adequate informations is provided (business cases, financial, benefits, risks, etc).
  -Prioritize according benefits vs efforts criteria and set which projects are retains for further evaluation and implementation.
  -Update the portfolio project list consolidated from various plants and provide as inputs to Global PM-TT within PSTO.
  -Support consolidation at PM-TT level.
  
  • Lead global & local projects in the recombinant plant network according to the defined matrix – process&manufacturing related.
  
  • Lead the overall design of the process changes and monitor the execution.
  
  • Provide the business case for new projects (process changes) in the area of yield or robustness improvement, risk mitigation, innovation.
  
  • Report out progress on implementation to senior management within the Recombinant Project Review Committee.
  

• Baxter International - Process and Validation Engineer

  Maurepas 2013 - 2014 Consulting Engineer (Agap2) - Company: BAXTER Biosciences in Neuchâtel (Switzerland) - Department: Technical services and process validation.
  
  Activities:
  •Establishment of a validation strategy as part of the submission of a new product. Writing protocols and validation reports.
  •Collaboration with the planning department, the production staff and the analytical laboratory for the elaboration of the sampling and analysis plan.
  •Preparation and follow-up of sampling protocols in collaboration with analytical laboratories and production team. Inter-site management and coordination (Singapore, Thousand Oaks (USA)).
