Will Parker
E&L Technology Manager
I’m currently the E&L Technology Manager at West. Over the course of my 20 years of industry experience, I have held various analytical lab and lab management positions mostly in E&L, but also in container closure integrity testing and quality assurance. I’ve previously worked as a director at Boston Analytical, a lab supervisor at GSK, and a senior chemist at Eurofins. I hold a bachelor’s degree in chemistry and a master’s degree in data analytics both from Penn State.
