Her progression into leadership roles reflects an ability to integrate regulatory strategy, quality governance, and operational excellence to support sustainable performance in highly regulated environments.

Currently serving as Manager within the Healthcare & Lifesciences practice at Deloitte, Lorenza leads strategic advisory programs for pharmaceutical, biotechnology, MedTech, and healthcare organizations. Drawing directly on her previous experience as Head of Quality and Regulatory and as a leader in clinical trials and operations, her work focuses on regulatory transformation, digital health innovation, value-based healthcare strategies, and governance frameworks that enable both compliance and growth.

Her leadership in quality and compliance management systems, including ISO, GxP, and MDR, supported successful EU and FDA inspection readiness, risk mitigation, and audit outcomes. This phase marked a natural transition from industry leadership into consulting, allowing her to apply her firsthand experience in quality, regulatory, and clinical operations to advise organizations facing similar challenges. Across these roles, she has been recognized for aligning business objectives with regulatory rigor, ensuring that innovation and compliance advance together rather than in opposition.

Earlier in her career, Lorenza built deep expertise in regulatory affairs, clinical operations, and quality management within both healthcare providers and MedTech organizations.

Her experience also includes leading quality and regulatory functions within pharma and medical device manufacturing organizations, overseeing product lifecycles from R&D through post-market surveillance and driving organizational improvement initiatives. These roles laid the foundation for her credibility as a consultant who understands the operational realities behind regulatory frameworks.

Complementing her industry leadership, Lorenza holds an MBA and multiple advanced qualifications in project management, healthcare management, and regulatory affairs. She is certified as a GxP and ISO internal auditor and serves as Person Responsible for Regulatory Compliance (PRRC), reinforcing her credibility within highly regulated ecosystems.
