“Having formerly worked in different medical domains (clinics, scientific library) I have been with Galderma for 21 years now, always in the field of Regulatory Affairs. I started off in the French and European market as Regulatory Affairs Assistant, then worked for the VP of Corporate Regulatory Affairs and am now corporate RA Data Base & EDMS Manager.
I’m in charge of the publishing of submission dossiers, as well as building and maintaining the worldwide Regulatory Affairs database. Speaking of submission dossiers, we began by using what now looks like medieval methods, such as stamping the page numbers on thousands of pages by hand! and I’m glad to see electronic submissions becoming accepted in more and more countries. This calls for technical expertise with complex publishing tools. Having been actively involved in the conception of the RA data base, I’m proud to see this data base as a reference tool for many departments all over the world.
I think that jobs in Regulatory Affairs suffer from a somewhat dusty image of administrative paperwork but I can confirm that it is in fact very rewarding. It’s a very complex domain with strategic decisions, scientific expertise, ethics values and the need to regularly update knowledge. It also calls for communication skills while coordinating with the Health authorities and internal clients.
Galderma gives me the opportunity to work in this very dynamic area, to handle more and more complex projects while having managerial responsibilities.”
