Vamshi Krishna Garrepally

With more than 13 years of experience in the pharmaceutical industry, I have dedicated my career to advancing patient safety through Pharmacovigilance. I have worked across a wide range of functions—from processing and reporting safety cases and aggregate reports, to managing literature reviews and navigating global regulatory requirements. I have led key initiatives that helped enhance operational efficiency, such as tailoring safety databases, overseeing user acceptance testing, and introducing robotic process automation.

Currently, I serve as Senior Manager of Pharmacovigilance Safety Operations at Parexel, where I lead and support a talented team of healthcare and life science professionals. Together, we ensure the quality and safety of clinical trials and post-marketing programs. I take pride in building collaborative environments that are audit-ready, patient-focused, and strategically sound.

What drives me most is sharing what I have learned along the way-whether through mentoring, delivering training sessions, or contributing through internal platforms. I believe that when we share knowledge, we grow stronger as professionals and as an industry.
