Matthew Cruz

A results-driven Quality Control Manager and Analytical Chemist with over four years of experience leading high-performing teams in fast-paced, highly regulated manufacturing environments. Expertise spans the entire product lifecycle, from raw material extraction and purification to final formulation and quality release. Proven ability to develop, implement, and manage robust Quality Management Systems (QMS) that ensure strict adherence to cGMP, SOPs, and regulatory standards. A hands-on leader skilled in leveraging state-of-the-art analytical instrumentation and data systems to drive product quality, operational efficiency, and continuous improvement.

A versatile and dedicated professional with a comprehensive background in process engineering and quality management systems. My expertise began hands-on, mastering extraction and purification techniques, including advanced distillation to produce high-purity ingredients. This foundational knowledge was pivotal in transitioning to product formulation, where I developed a diverse portfolio, and ultimately into Quality Control Management. I am skilled in bridging the gap between production and compliance, ensuring products are not only effectively formulated but also consistently safe and compliant.
