About Pablo Hernandez

I am a seasoned Life Science Executive with 25+ years of experience working within R&D, QC, and Biotechnology Manufacturing Processes. Originally a Mechanical Engineer, I obtained my Master’s in Business Administration in order to fine-tune my leadership skills. I have proven, practical, and hands-on experience in capital real estate, facilities management and site engineering; developing business strategies, creating site master plans, building complex infrastructures, managing large construction projects, and operating biotechnology sites. I have mastered the ability to forecast the industry's needs and develop innovative action plans that allow for maximum productivity. I successfully directed several multi-million-dollar construction projects for biotechnology companies and have implemented various excellence initiatives to encourage company growth and cut down on unnecessary costs.
