"I have enjoyed working on multiple client engagements with Charles, and with each engagement BOTH the client and hybrid team have enjoyed great success and professional satisfaction! Charles is an accomplished executive leader and automation, electrical, and process engineer who brings an exceptional degree of professionalism, leadership, people development, and promotion.

On the most recent engagement, comprised of a global hybrid team of 40, with diverse colleagues from Lisbon, Madrid, Basel, Munich, Bangalore, Austin, San Francisco, and San Diego, the workshops designed and led by Charles quickly brought the team together and the second and subsequent third phases of the validated S/4HANA (ERP) - Mulesoft (middleware) - Syncade (MES) GMP production go-live to a successful outcome.

I am happy to recommend Charles for any executive-technical-people leadership-business development role across the validated GMP IT-OT and resilient microgrid distributed energy resource landscapes."
Chuck - Owner, Process and Energy Consulting Company (2024)

"I am currently working on a large MES engagement with (leading pharmaceutical manufacturer), and have been engaged with them on several MES assignments for the past 3 years. I am also the President of a medium-sized life sciences consulting firm, that has been serving several large pharmaceutical and biotech firms primarily on the West Coast since 2007. I have over 25 years experience working with (leading pharmaceutical manufacturer) over a large variety of engagements. Prior to establishing my own consulting firm, I was a Senior Manager for Ernst & Young/Cap Gemini for over 5 years in the Life Sciences practice.

Charles was assigned to our project to fill the Global Product Manager (ad interim) role over the global drug substance program, and I have been working with Charles on the MES CORE project for the past several months. Upon arrival, Charles demonstrated senior-level communication skills, industry knowledge relative to manufacturing systems and processes, and a background in MES systems and implementations.

Our MES CORE program was started just 2 years ago -- the program had enjoyed some limited successful roll-outs, and was gaining momentum to grow into a larger program. The project team had completed the design phase of the 3rd revision of the solution, and was approaching the final validation, delivery, and site roll-out phase of the project for a new greenfield site at the time Charles was on-boarded. Charles dedicated time for communicating with several of the key project stakeholders through periodic 1:1 meetings and small group working meetings, and assisted in facilitation for larger team meetings.

Charles and I met 1:1 on a weekly basis to review progress and issues. The following are some examples and observations regarding his performance:
In 1:1 sessions, Charles was able to listen and articulate an understanding of critical project issues, and proposed solutions and follow-up actions. In addition, Charles took extra time to understand my personal concerns and the current/future role and business objectives for our consulting group team members on our current engagement. I believe that this was extremely helpful in opening up communications between ground-level project issues and the program leaders at (leading pharmaceutical manufacturer).

In project meetings, Charles presented his role clearly, and highlighted the role of the team in supporting the ability for our 'relatively small' engagement team to grow into a larger program and supported by both (leading consulting firm) and partner firms. Charles was able to gain the trust and respect of the existing leadership team as well as the leaders of several of the 3rd party consulting firms on the engagement team. Specifically, he has the ability to demonstrate respect for each individual, understand the value of the various partner firms and assigned roles, and articulate where (leading consulting firm) resources can help the team grow and scale the program over the next few years.

Charles assisted in structuring a critical 5 day off-site working session involving our European SAP partners, and 3rd party vendors on our team and key direct (leading pharmaceutical company) resources. Timing was not optimal for this as we were in the middle of a critical testing phase of the project, but the need existed to get in a room with all key stakeholders to complete testing and system walk-throughs. Charles demonstrated the ability (and some bravery) primarily in the 'preparation' discussions and design for the working session - he was able to focus our team on structuring the exercise to maximize the value for (leading pharmaceutical company) and our engagement team and gain consensus (e.g. participation, goals/objectives, etc) for the session. Most importantly, he allowed the team to properly narrow the scope of the exercise and focus on critical deliverables for the current phase of the effort requiring heavy team collaboration.

Charles was able to gain the trust of several seasoned (leading pharmaceutical company) 'blue-badge' leaders on the project team, and to bridge the gap on some difficult personnel issues -- again, he took the time to understand the background and contribution of these individuals, and assist in communicating the value of these individuals to our European colleagues to bring some difficult situations to at least a 'neutral' point in order to retain the participation of these individuals on the team .

Charles is currently working with the team to bridge some communication gaps with the site, which is the 'client' for our current MES CORE release, and to assist with resolution of critical startup-related issues between Site, MES CORE team, and the European SAP team. In addition, Charles is assisting with coordination and facilitation with our European colleagues in structuring the 'next phases' of our overall MES CORE program (cross-platform, large initiative, etc.). Charles demonstrated excellent listening, presentation and communication skills in presentations to our overall MES CORE operating committee, and specifically focused on several critical risks and mitigations raised by our client site and core team members.

In summary, we appreciate the support that Charles has provided to our team the past several months, and I believe our project team has been well represented through Charles to our leadership teams - this will have an impact on the longevity of the engagement for all participants. If you need more information, feel free to contact me directly."

''Charles was brought into the Core MES project when we certainly needed governance within our project. We did not have a Global Drug Substance Product Manager on the project for almost a year and we needed someone qualified to fill in this position. Charles has been filling the Global Product Manager role with full commitment and has done amazing work since he joined the team. He has been our single point of contact when we needed to communicate anything to program leadership. I have always admired the transparency when it comes to Charles working on things. There are so many burning topics that Charles has taken over and brought up to program leadership and came up with the solution/path forward for those. That progressively shows a leadership skill that deeply cares for people he works with and always advocates for the betterment of people and the project he is working with. I would also like to add that some of the suggestions that he has provided on crucial topics recently have been really useful to the project. Overall, Charles has been an asset to the team and to the project. There is nothing that I can think of that he needs to improve at this point but rather there are things that I have learned from him. I am thankful to Charles for his positive contribution to the project and to (Leading Pharmaceutical Manufacturer). ''

"Charles has provided engineering services for a variety of projects since 2003. They provided engineering services ranging from the programming associated with the manufacturing and CIP systems, integration of new packaging equipment to existing packaging equipment, and design build packages for integration of a new steam generation system. Charles provided a design build package for a plant wide upgrade to chilled water and condensate. The existing system, antiquated and in disrepair, was necessary to keep the facility operational. Charles, as the design lead, utilized their knowledge of facility utility systems and the processing requirements to complete a design allowing minimal outage to the facility in a heavy demand season. Charles led the engineering team to provide a design build package to replace the process sterilization control system for the aseptic manufacturing process. This project required expertise in the manufacturing process, the mechanical function of the system, electrical design and controls integration to the balance of the processing system, and system and controls validation. The success of the undertaking was quickly evident by the increased system reliability resulting in improved line performance. Charles is the project manager over several contracted projects at the facility, and is often viewed as the go to resource for troubleshooting and manufacturing root cause analysis based on their demonstrated expertise. Throughout the projects Charles has consistently demonstrated the knowledge, integrity, and dependability necessary to meet the needs of our aseptic manufacturing facility."
