Summary

Experience in both regulatory and quality in the FMCG environment, strong ownership, and a team player who loves to interact with people and provide help.

I focus on delivering results and getting things done, but I am also good at finding fulfillment and meaning in the process of doing the work.

If in doubt of my knowledge or ability to learn and pick up tasks, I kindly ask for an opportunity to handle an assignment for validation. For example, a specific regulation deep-dive, an artwork check, or a marketing material review.
