An Vanden Bosch

As a Master of Bioscience Engineering with a PhD in Medical Sciences, I started my career in industry, where I became acquainted with regulatory affairs for plant protection products. I moved to ARCHE Consulting to widen my horizon and develop my technical skills, as part of a knowledgeable team of colleagues. Today I work as an Expert Science Manager and am a project manager for several biocidal active substance dossiers.

What I like most in my job is the diversity of tasks and projects that come our way: explaining the complexity of the chemicals regulations and procedures to our clients, helping them meet their objectives and deadlines, being able to dive deep into scientific topics, putting together sound regulatory dossiers based on solid risk assessments and defending these before regulators, establishing collaborations between companies, … Routine is non-existing in our job as a regulatory consultant. Every day brings a new challenge. Being able to anticipate and solve problems on behalf of our clients is a very rewarding part of our job.  

Working at ARCHE Consulting for nearly 10 years, I can say the office and colleagues feel like a second home. I received many opportunities to develop my technical skills, to meet inspiring clients, to grow as a person, and to shape our expanding company together with my colleagues.

Most projects are teamwork. Being a project manager for several large and long-running projects, it is wonderful to be able to rely on colleagues who are experts in their field and who can make a difference for clients. It equally makes me proud to witness how junior colleagues develop their skills and steadily grow with the support of more experienced colleagues to become experts or project managers on their own.
