About Imen

Industrial biology engineer with a specialized Master's degree in Quality Management, I have 12 years of experience in quality management within multinational pharmaceutical and logistics environments. I have held global positions, developing in-depth expertise in pharmaceutical industry quality standards, specifically EU-GDP regulations, as well as being an IRCA ISO 9001 lead auditor. Today, I am turning to quality consulting, where I leverage my know-how to support companies in their certification projects, audit/inspection preparation and follow-up, supplier qualification, implementation of Quality Management Systems (QMS), quality project management, and training to improve internal quality culture. My goal is to guide companies towards operational excellence and regulatory compliance.
