Horacio Almazan is a Operations Manager at Avenu Medical. He possess expertise in medical devices, r&d, product development, design control, iso 13485 and 45 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "I have worked with Horacio Almazan at two different med-tech start-up companies over many years. Both companies achieved success for our investors and employees through an acquisition. Horacio was a big part of those successes through his deep knowledge of manufacturing engineering and operations. His skills include prototype and process development, clean room fabrication and operations scaleup. He is also a trustworthy person who is great to work with.", "Horacio is a committed, loyal and tireless worker. He shows persistence to solve problems and dedication to achieving results. It has been a pleasure to have Horacio as part of our team.", and "Horacio Almazan first worked for me at MicroVention on a coil embolization project. Horacio is directly responsible for solving some of our major technical challenges by implementing unique assembly processes. With his superior hand skills, he quickly became recognized in the company as the employee that could get things done. Many of the early stage prototypes were built by Horacio, he streamlined the development process by canabolizing existing products to get components and creatively assembling them into working prototypes. Once proof of concept was achieved he had an equal talent of helping to advance these prototypes into commercially viable products. For sure Horacio was an important component of the initial product development that led to MicroVention's early commercial success. A few years later I hired Horacio into Rox Medical where he once again proved to be a vital component of the product development. Horacio personally machined some very intricate and complex fixtures. With Horacio's help we were able to prove the device in animals and advance the product into FIM far ahead of expectations. Some of Horacio's greatest attributes are his strong sense of urgency for expeditious product development and his confidence that there is always a solution to a technical challenge. Much of Horacio's success is based on his never ending need to learn and improve. As a technician he frequently attended advanced technical training, he also took engineering courses to further his career, and even achieved an MBA to understand the business element of medical device companies. This ambition and time commitment spent on personal development helped him rise through the ranks as senior technician, associate engineer, and ultimately to an R&D engineer title. I would strongly recommend Horacio Almazan to any company in need of a hands-on, technically strong, and results oriented employee."
