Simona Catana brings extensive experience working with pharmaceutical organisations on digitalisation and transformation initiatives across Quality Control and manufacturing. She works with pharmaceutical executives to improve operational performance by rethinking the role of QC—identifying where time, cost, and capacity are lost across laboratory and production-related processes, often hidden in manual workflows, investigations, and fragmented systems. Her focus is on translating these insights into targeted automation and digitalisation initiatives that deliver tangible gains: faster batch release, reduced inefficiencies, and better use of existing capacity. She brings a pragmatic, execution-driven perspective on how QC can evolve from a compliance function into a lever for improving throughput and overall manufacturing performance.
