Frank L. Gorski Merck & Co., Inc.

Frank leads the GMP Technology Audit organization within Merck's Manufacturing Division (MMD). His team independently monitors MMD’s internal and external IT control environment to ensure compliance of Merck's digital assets. These assets include Merck's data centers, enterprise applications, shop floor and laboratory systems as well as suppliers of software and managed IT services.

Frank began his career at Merck as an Automation Engineer supporting vaccine and sterile operations. A pre-approval inspection changed his career trajectory towards quality and compliance. This interest led him to Wyeth Pharmaceuticals as a GxP IT Quality Auditor. At Wyeth he moved on through various quality, compliance and leadership roles that included managing product quality complaints and global quality systems for the manufacturing division. After Pfizer’s acquisition of Wyeth, he built and managed the Pfizer global IT audit program in support of Sarbanes-Oxley, Data Privacy, Information Security, and GxP regulations.

He holds a Bachelor of Science in Electrical & Computer Engineering from Drexel University and has a Six-Sigma Greenbelt certification.
