Bio
Satish Kumar V
Andy Gibson is a goal oriented professional and his extensive experience in Quality speaks for itself in terms of his excellence at work. He was a Project Quality head for a 100M GBP greenfield project in Bengaluru. Andy was involved in developing and implementing a comprehensive validation and qualification strategy for all utilities, equipments and processes and ensured compliance as per GSK requirements. One thing that sets Andy apart from his peers is his willingness to put in more than his 100% to be able to capitalise on an opportunity when it shows itself. Apart from being a good person, Andy is a great leader and mentored many people during his tenure. I had a wonderful time working with him in GSK Vemgal project for a period of 3 years. His extensive experience will be a great asset to any organization he chooses to work for.

I had the pleasure of working with Andy for about four years at GlaxoSmithKline for a factory project. His skills and expertise in Pharmaceutical Project Management are exceptional (I have learnt a lot from him!). He has excellent domain knowledge. Andy is a stickler for time management with an eye for details. He encourages problem solving through team engagement. He is also a great coach and mentor, always empowering, inspiring and looking out for his team. Andy would be an invaluable asset to any role or assignment he decides to take up.
