Lonza Singapore, Manager of Project Engineering Department

Based in Singapore, Bo Quan joined Lonza Singapore in 2019 as Manager of Project Engineering department. He leads an engineering team to provide technical support for the Biologics Mammalian & Development Services business as well as Cell & Gene Technologies business in their capital projects. This involves managing the lifecycle of projects (from concept study to basic design and detail design), project timelines and budget. Bo Quan also leads the alignment between the Capex and Process teams for new projects and tech transfer.

He started his career in the Engineering, Procurement & Construction Management (EPCM) industry where he contributed to the GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) bulk vaccine facility from 2007 to 2009. In 2012, he transitioned from project engineering to manufacturing support roles in the same facility which he helped build. Bo Quan became the project manager of a site capacity expansion project in 2016.
The experience gained while running this project equipped him with further skills and knowledge, empowering him to lead the project engineering department when he subsequently joined Lonza.

Bo Quan holds an MBA in Project Management from the University of Management and Technology (UMT) and a Bachelor’s degree in Chemical Engineering at the National University of Singapore (NUS).
