Meet Vivian O'Kane

Quality Assurance Specialist (Dairy, Medicinal Cannabis)

Vivian brings extensive experience across quality systems, regulatory compliance, auditing, and product assurance, helping businesses navigate complex requirements with confidence. Her work spans a wide range of sectors, including transport and logistics, medicinal cannabis, dairy, meat, honey, dietary supplements, and veterinary pharmaceuticals.

A key area of expertise for Vivian is supporting businesses with Risk Management Programmes (RMPs), Food Control Plans (FCPs), National Programmes (NPs), and medicinal cannabis licensing. She works closely with clients to develop practical quality systems, manage compliance requirements, prepare for audits, and achieve successful certification outcomes. From label reviews and ingredient assessments to internal audits, swabbing programmes, and non-conformance management, Vivian helps businesses build strong foundations for long-term success.

Known for her flexible and collaborative approach, Vivian has a talent for translating complex regulatory requirements into practical actions that businesses can understand and implement. She takes the time to understand each client’s unique challenges, ensuring solutions are tailored, achievable, and aligned with operational realities.

What Vivian enjoys most is the variety of her work and the opportunity to guide clients through unfamiliar territory. Whether helping a medicinal cannabis start-up secure its licence or supporting a food business through certification, she finds great satisfaction in seeing projects through from concept to completion and celebrating her clients’ achievements along the way.

Outside of work, Vivian is a passionate animal lover. As a child, she dreamed of becoming a veterinarian due to her love of animals—particularly horses. These days, her affection is shared with her three cats, who keep life entertaining outside the office.
