Bio
Charles Deeck
Yvette was a member of our highly functional Regulatory Operations Team at ARIAD, and after ARIAD's acquisition by Takeda, she went on to other Regulatory Operations positions with always increasing responsibilities. Her proficiency with technology, particularly Veeva Vault, is first rate. She's a very good team player, a quick learner, a dedicated employee, and is always willing to take on more responsibility. Yvette has my highest recommendation as both a professional and a friend.
