TESTIMONIAL
To Whom it May Concern:
I am writing this letter of recommendation on behalf of Benjamin Edwards (Ben). Between the time frame of 14-Feb-2022 to 11-Aug-2023, I served as Associate Director of Technical Operations for Merck & Co. Inc, at the Wilson, NC Facility. Within that time frame, Ben worked for me as an engineering contractor supporting start-up and qualification of a new Blow Fill Seal (BFS) aseptic filling facility.
Ben was onboarded onto the project initially to assist with the development of Clean-in-Place (CIP) and Sterilization-in-Place (SIP) automated cycles. Although he started there, Ben quickly showed an ability to apply his wide range of experiences to not only that, other areas of process development including such things as the following:
• Creating Design of Experiments (DOEs) to better understand and characterize critical process parameters (CPPs).
• Authoring technical testing protocols and summary reports for such things as Temperature Mapping Studies, Extrusion Validation, Engineering Runs, and Process Performance Qualification.
• Performing data and statistical analysis
• Authoring Standard Operation Procedures and Work Instructions
Ben demonstrated a strong ability to process information quickly and utilize that information to draw appropriate conclusions and/or next steps. His previous knowledge and experience with BFS technology was instrumental to team's success and accomplishments. He often volunteered to take on additional work than what was initially assigned to him to maintain project progress and ease the workload of his colleagues. He was also quick to point out any potential concerns or gaps in qualification or regulatory requirements he was familiar with. The pharmaceutical industry is a heavily regulated industry and with each assignment,Ben took the necessary time to ensure his work was compliant with internal guidelines and regulations. The quality of his work was exceptional. In addition, he quickly integrated himself well within the team as if he was a permanent employee.
I would highly recommend Ben Edwards for any technically based project within the pharmaceutical industry. His experience, work ethic, and quality of work would be a welcomed asset to any organization.
Sincerely,
Ellis Cozart
Associate Director of Technical Operations
