Project history
Viatris Inc. is an American global pharmaceutical and healthcare corporation headquartered in Canonsburg,
Pennsylvania. The corporation was formed through the merger of Mylan and Upjohn, a legacy division
of Pfizer
Achievements: Programme managed multiple projects managers, technical and clinical teams in 4
countries to a successful post-merger integration into the required Viatris environment
* Successfully managed the migration of 4 manufacturing sites, including over 2000 desktop
migrations and 250 local applications, ensuring minimal disruption to production and operations
* Set up Project Online (PWA) to better manage activities across multiple projects, resulting in
improved collaboration and increased efficiency
* Managed SAP implementation, including effectively managing the EWM, PP, SuccessFactors, FiCo,
implementation, oversaw the management of System Integrators (SIs) to ensure successful project
delivery across all Sites in Ireland, Egypt Algeria, Puerto Rico, and Dalian (China) Established
and maintained project management methodologies, standards, and best practices to ensure
consistency and efficiency throughout the implementation process
* Ensured successful migration of data from Pfizer and Mylan to the new Viatris environment
* Mentored and coached project managers to drive improvements in project management methodologies
and best practices
* Managed the implementation of several critical systems, including LIMS, Empower, D2 (PDOCS) GDMS,
MES and Trackwise, ensuring successful integration and minimizing downtime
* Successfully set up AWS virtual desktops for all users, ensuring seamless access to legacy
software during the transition period, resulting in zero downtime or disruption to business
operations
* Managed the migration of all data with 100% accuracy, ensuring quality checks were conducted to
verify the accuracy of the migrated data, resulting in zero data loss or corruption
* Successfully planned the decommissioning of legacy servers and workstations, resulting in a
timely disengagement from legacy companies and freeing up resources for new initiatives
* Ensured a smooth transition to BAU teams by recording all device allocations and providing user
guides and documentation, resulting in minimal disruption during the transition period and quick
adoption of new systems

Achievements: Successful post-acquisition integration of infrastructure of Memcor to DWS across 4
continents, all completed remotely due to covid restrictions
* Successfully led a post-acquisition infrastructure project, resulting in seamless migration of
Memcor users into DuPont, the integration spanning across multiple countries despite challenges
posed by COVID-19 restrictions
* Developed a comprehensive project plan using MS Project, ensuring dependencies were identified
and timelines were met for all workstreams
* Managed SI to implement S4 HANA ERP modules including EWM, SD, SuccessFactors, PP, MM at the
manufacturing site in Australia
* Implemented efficient reporting templates to DuPont executives on project progress, risks,
assumptions, issues and dependencies, resources, and budget expenditure, enabling informed
decision making
* Managed the procurement of over 200 laptops, workstations, and peripherals from Dell and
coordinated with a third-party company to develop VMware virtual machines required for engineers,
ensuring seamless transition of users to DuPont infrastructure
* Designed and tested migration plan for OneDrive data from legacy to DuPont and facilitated
improvements to Azure-based SCCM, ensuring efficient operations and gathering issues from
different users to coordinate fixes by engineering team
