Throughout my career, I have successfully managed regulatory compliance for multiple pharmaceutical products across various jurisdictions. I have a deep understanding of FDA regulations, EMA guidelines, and international health standards. My experience includes leading teams to prepare comprehensive submissions, ensuring adherence to regulatory timelines, and effectively communicating with regulatory bodies to resolve issues and secure approvals.

I maintain a proactive approach to staying informed by subscribing to regulatory updates from key agencies like the FDA and EMA, attending industry conferences, and participating in professional networks. Additionally, I conduct regular training sessions for my team to ensure we are all aligned with the latest regulations and best practices in regulatory affairs.

In a previous role, we faced a critical delay in drug approval due to a non-compliance issue. I led a cross-functional team to conduct a thorough review of the submission, identified the gaps, and developed a corrective action plan. We engaged with the regulatory agency to address their concerns transparently and promptly resubmitted the application, which resulted in successful approval within the revised timeline.

I implement a comprehensive compliance program that includes regular audits, training sessions, and clear communication of regulatory expectations. By fostering a culture of compliance across all departments, I ensure that everyone understands their role in maintaining regulatory standards. I also use technology to automate compliance checks and monitor adherence to regulations, which enhances our overall efficiency and effectiveness.

Balancing innovation and regulatory constraints involves a strategic approach that prioritizes patient safety while fostering innovation. I work closely with R&D teams to understand their goals and align them with regulatory requirements early in the development process. By providing regulatory guidance and risk assessment, I help ensure that innovative products can be developed within the bounds of compliance, ultimately leading to successful market entry.
