I am an enthusiastic MES team lead with experience in delivering site wide digitalization projects ranging from environmental monitoring, MES and eLogs systems that interface with ERPs LIMS, Data historians etc. My experience in the healthcare and pharmaceutical industry ranges from direct patient care, reagent manufacture, hospital diagnostics and human and animal pharmaceuticals. I have been an IBMS licensed biomedical scientist, worked in QC laboratories and now work to digitalize operations at the Lonza Netherlands Cell and Gene plant which currently includes allogeneic, autologous and mRNA modalities.

My experience with MES systems lies with MODA ES, Lonza’s own next generation MES solution for eBR and eLogs. I work with an interdisciplinary team to bring this solution to the shop floor.

Outside of my core function I enjoy implementing systems to improve efficiency and drive operational improvements. For example, I developed a PowerApp to utilize QR codes to track and report paper batch records across the site, complete with a user account and permissions system, and led a team to ensure its successful deployment.
