About Umar Maqsood

Experienced PI System Integrator and Program Lead with a strong track record of delivering OSIsoft/AVEVA PI System solutions across global pharmaceutical and manufacturing environments. I specialize in leading cross-functional teams, managing large-scale automation projects, and ensuring smooth, compliant PI deployments, including greenfield implementations and system expansions. In my current role, I manage a team of nearly 50 engineers and professionals, overseeing projects across multiple sites. I act as the main point of contact for a major pharma client, serving as a Subject Matter Expert on complex automation and PI System integrations. I’ve led front-end studies, guided resource planning, and supported system validation and audit readiness in highly regulated environments. My approach blends technical expertise with clear communication, efficient execution, and a strong focus on quality. I enjoy mentoring teams, driving process improvements, and helping clients get real value from their data systems. Fluent in English, German, and Urdu, I bring a global mindset to everything I do. I'm always open to new challenges and opportunities to grow, both personally and professionally.
