I am a psychologist by training and hold a PhD in Neuroscience and am experienced in pharmaceutical research as researcher and manager... During my years as department head Pharmacology I became fascinated by Operational Excellence and Lean management. In that period I started to develop Lean in the department I was leading. Here, I not only witnessed great improvements in productivity but also an enhancement of ownership and entrepreneurial drive within the team. People really started to flourish... Excited as I was about what I saw I decided to bring continuous improvement available to other research teams and organizations.
