🎉 Celebrating 25 Years of Progress - Experts in Life Sciences: Spotlighting the Peaks of Oscar and Hans! As we continue to celebrate our 25th anniversary, we take pride in sharing the personal milestones and peak moments that have defined our team members' journeys with Progress. This month, we are thrilled to feature the reflections of Oscar and Hans, whose experiences underscore the growth, learning, and connections that make Progress .... Progress! Oscar Smit's peak: December 2024 marks a significant milestone for Oscar, as he celebrates ten years with Progress. It’s the longest he has ever been with one employer, and this decade has been split between two rewarding phases. The first five years were spent as a consultant, where Oscar developed his expertise and built strong relationships. The following five years have seen him step into a leadership role, guiding Progress with the same passion and dedication. Throughout these ten years, Oscar has not only connected with committed colleagues but also gained valuable insights into his profession and himself. This journey of growth and self-discovery is something Oscar is grateful for, making this decade-long chapter a true peak in his career. Hans (J.P.) De Koning's peak: For Hans, a major peak moment was the successful completion of the “TTTT project” at Dopharma B.V. (Team Technology Transfer Toulouse). This complex project involved the transfer of nine aseptic products (including three suspensions) from France to the Netherlands and four aseptic products from France to a CMO in the Netherlands. Despite the challenges posed by the pandemic, Hans and his team achieved this transfer over three years, including two challenging Corona years. Additionally, during the same period, Hans led the qualification process for the replacement of clean utilities, including Cold WFI, CCA, N2, and cold storage. The ability to manage a technical qualification project simultaneously with a tech transfer project for the same client was a true peak moment in his career, showcasing his expertise and ability to deliver under pressure. The peak moments of Hans and Oscar illustrate the personal and professional growth that Progress nurtures. From long-term commitments that lead to self-discovery to the impactful contributions that shape our collective success, these stories remind us of the powerful journeys our team members embark on. Here’s to celebrating their achievements and the many more peaks to come! #Progress25Years #WeAreProgress #CareerGrowth #Leadership #Gratitude
