About

As a Proposal Manager at SSR, I work with department heads in preparing and negotiating budgets and contracts for clinical trials and research projects. I have over five years of experience in this role. My core competencies include lean business processes, reporting and analysis, mentoring, and business development. I am passionate about leveraging artificial intelligence and data science to optimize operations, enhance quality, and reduce risks. I have successfully used GPT-3 to automate and streamline proposal generation, contract drafting, and budget forecasting. As a result, I have increased the win rate, profitability, and customer satisfaction of Novotech's projects.
