Nina Vas is Vice President of Global Quality Assurance at UPS Healthcare, where she leads the organization's global quality, compliance, and regulatory affairs strategy. With more than 29 years of experience across life sciences, healthcare supply chain, quality, and project management, Nina is focused on building a strong quality culture and positioning quality as an enabler of operational excellence, customer trust, and sustainable growth.
Throughout her career, Nina has led complex global operations, major transformation programs, M&A integration, and continuous improvement initiatives across the pharmaceutical supply chain. Her experience spans clinical trial logistics, pharmaceutical distribution, import and export of products ranging from APIs and finished drug products to clinical ancillaries, as well as collaboration with pharmaceutical companies, clinical research organizations, manufacturing sites, and third-party logistics providers.
A key focus of Nina's leadership has been the integration and harmonization of quality systems across a rapidly evolving global organization, including newly acquired businesses.
