I am a proven, result-driven leader with a strong background in engineering. I also possess a diverse skill set which allows me to be an efficient, versatile manager. I have successfully directed programs and projects of all sizes, and in a multitude of industries. I employ a philosophy based on designing and implementing processes to promote strategic partnerships, improve efficiency, quality, and product usability, as well foster the growth of teams. My background in engineering is reflected in the fact that I have a wealth of experience in quality control/continuous improvement protocols in both medical device and manufacturing/CNC machining environments (21 CFR Part 820 or ISO 13485). This also means I have experience in driving continuous improvement of quality systems coupled with the ability to understand the core pieces of a quality system, and the interactions with management responsibility and review, product development, process controls (including process validation), inspection, training, document control, knowledge management, change management, and Corrective Action/Preventative Action (CAPA) reviews.Regardless of my background or my role on a team, I have always employed the philosophy of combining the most effective use of resources and the continual education of and communication with teammates to achieve departmental and/or organizational objectives. The bottom line to my philosophy is increasing the quality of internal and external customer interaction can be as much of a revenue driver as the product itself.Specialties: Data Analysis;Research and Development;Strategic, Operational, and Tactical Planning;Technology Consulting/Implementation, specific to Usability and Man-Machine Interfaces;Process Improvement and Implementation;Program/Project Management;Relationship Management;Leading Cross-Organizational, Cross-Functional Teams;Quality Assurance/Regulatory Compliance;Engineering/Technical Documentation;
