RemitResponsible for all pre and post sales support for all reproductive health instruments, reagents and software. Account manager for customers in the South West. Achievements• 2016 - New disorders (Edwards syndrome, Patau’s syndrome) added to the National Antenatal screening programme in the UK. This required a software update to most NHS screening labs. I led the project which involved laboratory managers, software developers and other key stakeholders. I performed the backup, installation and testing of new risk calculation software across all sites to ensure the project was successfully delivered on time. • 2019 - awarded the highest honor in the company, Presidents club. All expenses paid one week trip for two to Aruba. • In 2021 I led projects to setup the Severe Combined Immunodeficiency Disease (SCID) screening Pilot in England. This needed a coordinated approach that involved, hardware and software installation, training and testing. • In 2022 I was key in the transition of the SCID pilot from traditional PCR to Q-PCR technology. This involved lab managers, R&D and software services to ensure a seamless transition.
