Annette is an experienced Pharma and Medical Device Operation Project Manager.  She started out with a B.S. ChE from the University of Illinois at Urbana/Champaign.  She is a fellow of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers, and has served on the Board.  As a licensed Chemical Engineer, she worked on equipment and facility installation and qualification projects. 

Then she moved on to managing Pharma, Life Science and Medical Device Operations projects of all sorts, and achieved certifications as a Six Sigma Black Belt (from ASQ), and a PMP (from PMI).   In 2013, she attained a Masters of Engineering Management from Northwestern University.

With each successful project achievement, she learned that soft skills are just as important as doing all the planning and execution per ASQSSBB and PMP training.

She has retired from corporate and contracting work as a Project Manager, and is looking forward to working with you!

Meet Annette

She’ll tell you why you may need her services.

I had the privilege and good fortune to work with Annette as our project manager on a challenging biologics development project. Her sense of ownership, leadership, and support were critical to getting our project back on track. Annette helped define the road map and kept the team focused on the right actions to meet our milestones. Any team would be lucky to have her guidance and drive on their side. We can’t recommend her enough.

Annette joined my team as a consultant during a challenging period where we were short in resources and lacking senior & experienced Program managers to take complex projects involving multiple sites. As soon as Annette joined she established confidence within the project team and with the client. She immediately implemented a detailed Gantt chart and action log tracker and was able to drive accountability from all the Subject matter experts and present the team in front of the clients ready to provide an update with clear progress and a plan for next steps. Annette was also able to speak with the client and with the SMEs about very technical topics thanks to her background and experience which also helped to build trust and confidence from both parties.
