Cédric Devillechaise — Senior Freelance Consultant
Cédric Devillechaise
Founder, Devexo
After more than 15 years at GSK Vaccines — across the Wavre and Rixensart sites — I developed an uncommon hybrid profile: an expert who operates naturally at the interface between the shop floor, digital tools and regulatory compliance — worlds I have always seen as complementary, never opposing.
I held complementary roles: maintenance methods and planning lead on one side, CSV and Data Integrity reference on the other. This dual responsibility positioned me as the bridge between maintenance, production, quality and engineering teams.
Throughout those years, I have always worked with a focus on data, rigour and adoption: I designed workflows and reporting that teams actually adopted, improved Master Data quality, and brought the voice of the field into digital initiatives — because a tool only creates value once the people who use it embrace it.
Today, I bring this expertise to your projects through Devexo, my independent consulting practice. My goal: deliver concrete value, quickly, without the friction of a large organisation.
Planning and coordination of technical shutdowns, optimisation of preventive and corrective maintenance, reliability and condition-monitoring oversight — in a regulated environment, with a lifecycle and maintenance-excellence mindset.
Driven by the business. I bring the voice of the field to maintenance digitalisation projects: requirements definition, change management and adoption, data quality, workflow optimisation (SAP PM; other CMMS/EAM systems, e.g. Maximo).
Domain expertise in GAMP 5, Data Integrity and IAM, coordination of computerised system validation projects in a GMP environment. Preparation for FDA and AFMPS inspections.
At the intersection of operations, digital and compliance — a combination of skills rarely found in a single person. With a natural curiosity for tools and a demonstrated ability to master any new environment quickly.
Long-term immersion at GSK Vaccines — a deep understanding of the processes, challenges and quality culture specific to large pharmaceutical organisations.
I translate field needs into tools, workflows and reporting that are actually adopted — data quality and continuous improvement included. No digital for digital's sake.
No validation for validation's sake. Every effort is proportionate to real risk, aligned with GAMP 5 and regulatory expectations — effective compliance, not cosmetic compliance.
My hybrid profile has often led me to take on unconventional engagements, at the intersection of quality, maintenance and digital. If your project is complex or cross-functional, that's exactly where I deliver the most value — let's talk.
