I am a Supply Chain Lead in Pfizer’s Global Clinical Supply organization, where I support the planning and execution of clinical trial supply. Over the past 10 years, I’ve worked across clinical supplies in multiple pharmaceutical companies, building a well-rounded understanding of end-to-end trial supply chain operations. In my current role, I partner closely with cross-functional teams across departments and divisions to anticipate trial needs, solve day-to-day challenges, and help ensure patients and sites receive the right materials at the right time.
