Meet Zulma, Senior Regulatory
Affairs Manager

What does a day in the life of your role look like?

As a Manager in the Regulatory Department for Argentina and Colombia, my days are a whirlwind of international collaboration. I juggle supervising staff across multiple countries, engage in thought-provoking regulatory strategy discussions with clinical study teams and sponsors, and meticulously perform quality control on critical regulatory dossiers. It's a role that keeps me on my toes and constantly learning.

What part of your job are you passionate about and would like to share?

My true passion lies in nurturing talent. There's an indescribable satisfaction in watching my team grow, providing them with the support and guidance they need to flourish. Drawing from my 9-year journey at Parexel and my industry expertise, I strive to be the mentor I wish I had when I was starting out.

How do you work With Heart™ and what does it mean to you?

Working "With Heart" is the pulse of our organization. It's about infusing integrity into every action, treating each interaction with care, and never losing sight of the lives we're impacting - be it patients, customers, or our communities. It's not just what we do, but how we do it that truly matters.

How do you value Parexel keeping the patient at the heart of everything we do?

In the labyrinth of clinical research, it's easy to get lost in data and deadlines. But at Parexel, we have a North Star - the patient. We constantly remind ourselves that behind every number is a person, a story, a life we're striving to improve. This perspective transforms our work from mere tasks to meaningful contributions.

How has Parexel helped to catapult your Regulatory career?

Parexel has been the wind beneath my wings, offering a perfect blend of trust and guidance. They've given me the freedom to spread my wings, coupled with the support to soar higher. From technical trainings to soft skill development, they've invested in my growth, helping me evolve not just as a professional, but as a person.

What has been your "Only at Parexel" moment?

At Parexel, I've discovered a unique kaleidoscope of experiences. The opportunity to simultaneously juggle multiple projects for various sponsors has been like a regulatory Rubik's cube - challenging, but incredibly rewarding. It's broadened my horizons, allowing me to see regulatory challenges from angles I never knew existed.

What is something most people don't know about you?

By day, I navigate the intricate world of regulatory affairs, but by night, I let loose on the dance floor! My passion for dance has been my secret passport to the world, leading me to explore diverse cultures and rhythms. It's my reminder that life, like a good dance, is all about finding your rhythm in the music of challenges and opportunities.
