Bio
Ron McArthur
In a previous role of mine as Vice President North America Supply Chain, I had the pleasure of working with Martin on multiple occasions. He often provided strategic opportunities to improve product performance customer service. He is a skilled leader who presents and negotiates well with senior executives to gain support for process changes. One example is where he led a cross-functional team to reduce the quality criteria between stages of manufacturing that ultimately reduced cycle times without compromising vaccine quality.

I have had the pleasure of working with Martin Los for the past two years at Sanofi Pasteur. When we first met, I was a new intern and Martin was the Director of the Product Quality department. Since then, Martin has been an invaluable mentor and friend, assisting me in my own career development. He always has helpful advice and a quick wit in any situation and is always willing to lend an ear. While working with Martin, I saw how he excels as a leader and as a colleague. He is collaborative and open to exploring new and innovative tools and methodologies to solve problems. He is an active thinker and strategic leader who brings a great deal of patience and a sense of comradery to any team, and his professionalism and integrity are second to none. Martin has a vast depth of knowledge in Regulatory Agencies and the pharmaceutical industry. His extensive education and work experience make him a valuable resource to any team. I know Martin would be an excellent asset to any organization and I would happily welcome the opportunity to work with him again. Kind regards, Jarod Li, PhD
