  • Actively contribute to innovation pipelines through ideation, concept development, and business case preparation.
  • Lead NPD/EPD projects from concept to launch readiness, ensuring cross‑functional alignment and on‑time delivery.

  • Act as a brand project manager across Sales, Supply Chain, Regulatory, Medical, Finance, and external agencies.
  • Drive projects with enthusiasm, resilience, and accountability, ensuring clarity of roles, timelines, and deliverables.
