Expert consulting in systems validation, maintenance management and regulatory compliance —
serving the pharmaceutical industry
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: that of an expert who operates naturally at the interface between operational reality and regulatory compliance — two worlds I have always seen as complementary, never opposing.
Throughout those years, I held complementary roles: maintenance methods and planning lead on one side, CSV and Data Integrity reference on the other. This dual responsibility naturally positioned me as the bridge between engineering, quality and production teams.
Beyond the roles, I have always worked with a focus on data, rigour and continuous optimisation: reporting automation, workflow design, Master Data quality improvement, dashboarding — with a genuine curiosity for tools and a demonstrated ability to master new environments quickly.
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.
Domain expertise in GAMP 5, Data Integrity and IAM. Coordination of computerised system validation projects in a GMP environment. Preparation for FDA and regulatory authority inspections.
Business support on CMMS/EAM projects — requirements definition, data quality, user training and maintenance workflow optimisation (SAP PM, Maximo and others).
Planning and coordination of technical shutdowns, optimisation of preventive and corrective maintenance flows in a regulated environment.
At the intersection of operations and compliance, between business and IT — 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.
A systematic approach to data quality, process automation and continuous improvement — translated into concrete tools, workflows and actionable reporting.
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 unexpected 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.
