About me
Michael Torok, Ph.D. is the Global Head of Quality Assurance Programs at Genentech/Roche. He is energized and driven by the mission of positioning Quality to be an accelerant in developing new therapeutics, rather than a guardrail or "policemen". To enable this shift, cross-functional teams must exhibit high performing Cultures of Quality. He has widely lectured on team dynamics including Critical Thinking and Open Proactive Dialog to enhance Risk Based Quality Management. Michael has held senior leadership roles in Quality, Operations, and Outsourcing, and holds a Ph.D. in Biochemistry and Molecular Genetics from the University of Virginia School of Medicine.
