Regulatory Affairs lead for company's mega brands.

Over the last 5 years almost I have thoroughly enjoyed my time at Johnson and Johnson, developing my role from local to regional and global & embracing it with ever changing regulatory landscape across the EMEA.

During this period, I have been leading the company's cosmetics, consumer healthcare products & OTCs portfolio for the EMEA region with special focus on emerging AMET region in addition to supporting the complex EU/Non-EU markets.

In terms of the current responsibilities, I have been developing and leading RA strategies for Johnsons Mega Brands while ensuring right for the first-time dossier compilation and project delivery with excellence.

My other responsibilities include;
• Influence externally through trade associations and government bodies
• Be Champion in innovation that matters
• Lead in Simplicity initiatives
• Compliance winner
• Subject matter expertise (cosmetic VS pharma VS medical devices, Halal, challenges etc)

Within the same (RA) function my previous roles were RA/QA specialist at Hospira (managing Proprietary medicines, Medical Devices and Biological medicines) and RA Associate at Actavis (managing generic business portfolio).

My cross regional expertise makes me a perfect candidate for bridging, influencing, partnerships and collaboration between different regions while managing a variety of portfolio and different regulatory bodies and landscapes.

I can be an asset for an organization looking for a candidate who has a strong local background, have got in-depth expertise in the function and can lead in a regional role or even in a global one.

All my references on the CV are still valid and even I can ask for references/recommendations from my current senior management at JnJ.
My notice period would be max 3 months and I am also open for relocation outside UAE as well. My dependents are my sweet wife and two lovely daughters aged 4 and 7.
