In progressive high-profile leadership roles with one of the world's leading, innovative companies in healthcare and medical products, I became a recognized leader and expert in clinical development research, medical and safety issues, international healthcare, project management, and personnel development/mentoring.

• I shifted focus of European/Canadian organization outward and repositioned as a leader to ensure ethical, compliant, and scientifically competent engagement with external customers by spearheading “Customer Facing Medical” initiative. 

• I delivered an operational turnaround and improved performance post merger in Latin America/Canadian organization by realigning focus and replacing poor key interfaces. This ultimately led to smooth integration, stronger leadership, and defined purpose. 

• I empowered teams to develop and implement goals resulting in turnaround of Canadian organization, breaking down silos and building identity. Earned Bayer Gold Cross Award for Leadership for efforts. 

• I led Bayer’s first global clinical team to complete new product Phase III program, global submission, and regulatory approval in all major jurisdictions, and thus beat competition to market.
