I am an independent Toxicologist with over 25 years experience working with companies, trade associations, consortia, governments, EU institutions and NGOs on a wide range of cross-sector issues related to chemical safety, product stewardship and Regulatory affairs.
My primary focus since 2010 has been on the EU REACH and CLP regulations. I have authored full substance dossiers and chemical safety assessments (CSA), and navigated the resulting dossier compliance checks. I have supported industry and NGO technical representations to the Member State (MSC) and Risk Assessment (RAC) committees European Chemicals Agency (ECHA), as well as interacting with individual Member State Competent Authorities (CA).
I also perform detailed toxicological hazard and risk assessments of chemical substances and categories for companies and consortia, leveraging my deep knowledge of information technologies, data management / mining and issue tracking.
I have been a Project Manager for various initiative of ECHA, EFSA, the EU Joint Research Centre (JRC), as well as for trade association sectors affiliated with CEFIC.
I have sat as an observer on the ECHA Member State and Biocidal Products Committees in my capacity as a scientific advisor to animal welfare groups, and and have contributed to ECHA guidance on REACH and CLP.
I have participated in numerous industry technical task forces – including as chair – and have authored numerous confidential and published technical reports.
As an independent I am uniquely placed to act as a data trustee and middleman to ensure full Competition Law compliance, managing and analysing confidential data in secure ways, fully auditable. Similarly, I have also provided due diligence services to ensure complete regulatory oversight during company acquisitions.
