Background

About Oliver Schaefer

IAs Director Digital Lab for Global Manufacturing at Charles River Laboratories, I lead cross-functional product teams in delivering scalable, compliant lab systems (LIMS, ELN, MES, LES) that truly make a difference — not just for operations, but for the people working in our labs every day. With a strong foundation in agile product leadership and deep experience in regulated environments (GMP, 21 CFR Part 11), I focus on building digital solutions that streamline processes, ensure compliance, and support scientific excellence. What sets me apart? A product mindset, a passion for empowering teams, and a drive to bridge science, tech, and compliance — turning complexity into clarity and vision into impact.As Director Digital Lab for Global Manufacturing at Charles River Laboratories, I lead cross-functional product teams in delivering scalable, compliant lab systems (LIMS, ELN, MES, LES) that truly make a difference — not just for operations, but for the people working in our labs every day.
