Frank Studt strengthens the gempex management team with responsibility for Human Resources, Marketing & Sales. With more than 30 years of experience in the highly regulated life sciences industry, he has the best prerequisites to help shape the future-oriented course of gempex.
Based on his degree as a civil engineer at the University of Stuttgart, Frank Studt developed one of his passions, technical IT. Here he realised a benchmark-setting major project with a large construction and engineering company and was also at home in the validation of computerised systems.
This was followed by more than 20 years in management at several, also international group companies of a consulting and engineering firm. With extensive expertise in consultancy and technology, he has also steered his career path to Asia to inspect active substance manufacturers, logistics service providers, contract laboratories and finished pharmaceutical product manufacturers as a 3rd-party auditor for his customers.
Frank Studt consistently pursued the goal of bringing together the needs of his customers with appropriate specialists. Aside from technical expertise, the focus is always on people, because consultancy and implementation can only be successful when the people are a good fit. This is also his credo for setting the direction for future-oriented, lasting growth at gempex.
