Head of Data Analytics and Biostatistics: Global MSAT, Boehringer Ingelheim

Program manager of business intelligence, biostats, and advanced performance analytics platforms. Successfully saved multiple millions of dollars over several years (saved batches, favorable variances, cycle time efficiencies) by deploying distinct data science capabilities that turn advanced analytics and visualizations into tangible business value. That’s the endgame, and by directing database and software architecture and programs toward effective continuous improvements across pharmaceutical manufacturing sites in a global network. We target cost of goods reductions, throughput efficiency and real-time predictive analytics of critical manufacturing steps, bottlenecks, and the visualization/consumption to deliver real-time actionable insights to managers and site leads.
