About Oliver

Strategic Partner for Pharma Transformation: Where Digitalization Meets GxP

Expert at the intersection of digital innovation and regulatory excellence. With over20 years of experience in the pharmaceutical and life sciences industry– particularly in corporate environments – I help companies transform complex IT landscapes into value-generating ecosystems.

Why this expertise makes a difference:
In highly regulated environments, projects often fail at the hurdle between technological progress and compliance. I bridge this gap. As a PMP®-certified leader, I manage multi-million euro programs with the precision your business demands and the security your auditors expect.

What you can expect from collaborating:
  • Acceleration: Increase R&D efficiency by up to 40% through process optimization and modern operating models.
  • Efficiency: Reduce IT costs (e.g., -10% in 12 months) through strategic portfolio management and process automation.
  • Compliance: GxP and GDPR-compliant implementation of global systems (e.g., document management for >50,000 adverse events annually).
  • Agility in the regulated space: Introduction of product-centric ways of working that reduce administrative overhead by approx. 15%.
I don't offer standard consulting, but measurable results and interim leadership at eye level with C-level executives. Whether it's about rescuing a stalled program, setting up a PMO, or creating a digital roadmap: I deliver "Compliant by Design".

Let's discuss how we can safely bring your digital agenda to life.
