To serve these local needs, Azzur Group today announces its newest consulting services office in Austin, Texas.

Leading Azzur Austin is Christopher Albert, Director. Christopher has nearly a decade of experience working for some of the world's premier pharmaceutical manufacturers. An expert in process engineering, validation, and project management, Christopher has led teams in the United States and India that oversaw the launch of as many as 12 products per year.
