Sam Deckers

Working within the Life Sciences industry, my work often involves developments in life saving vaccines and medication, which is a huge opportunity for me to make a difference. Since 2007, I have been a part of these major projects at several leading companies, which has been a proud accomplishment for me. In my role as an Automation Engineer, I get to utilise my experience and passion for technology and computer systems, and with the support and guidance from SPGL, I have been able to add Computer System Validation to my professional skills.

Kelly

Kelly Rymenams
Business & Operation Lead

I started at SPGL in 2017, fresh out of university and unsure of what I wanted to do next. In my ongoing journey, SPGL has been a most wonderful partner, guiding me in the Life Science Industry and following up closely on my development. After a few years of working with clients on their projects, I took on a new internal role where I can help others grow and help maintain our company values.
Being surrounded by enthusiastic, fun loving and kind people motivates me every day to give it my all.
