About Melinda

Phone verified

I am a passionate Microbiologist, Researcher, Scientist, and Production Manager, offering 24 years’ experience in product development, project management, and the production environment, across the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries. Reliable and self-motivated, I am capable of overcoming complex challenges to maintain continuous operations, and am skilled in managing multiple priorities to deliver against business-critical objectives. Being an experienced technical leader, I have successfully managed the development of large-scale bacterial fermentation and cell culture cultivation processes. I also have extensive experience in the writing and review of pharmaceutical production documents e.g. CMC reports, validation protocols and reports, experimental protocols and reports, batch books, CAPAs, Change Controls. SOPs and risk assessments. I’ve also been asked to review and score MSc and PhD theses from the Universities of The Free State, Stellenbosch and North West University. Also refer to Publications below. Proficient in product formulation, manufacture and analytics, I leverage my sound technical knowledge and meticulous attention to detail to drive regulatory compliance, adherence to cGMP, and to deliver high-quality analytical testing within the organisation I serve. I have also qualified myself in lean management and the management and GCP. Refer to Professional Development, Certifications & Relevant Training below. I am a fast learner of concepts and the application of guidelines. I believe the fact that I obtained a PhD is proof of my ability to learn fast and ask the right questions. I also believe my background knowledge and experience would be of great advantage to any pharmaceutical or research organisation.
