Along the way, I've held pivotal leadership roles at industry giants like Stryker and Zimmer, immersing myself in the tapestry of the medical device community. Through development, operations, and leadership roles, I've not only honed my expertise but also forged invaluable connections with colleagues, peers, talented surgeons, and trusted vendors.Pivot to AerospaceRecently, I embarked on a new challenge by joining Boeing, transitioning from the medical device industry to aerospace. My role remains focused on improving the effectiveness of those on the front lines—much like supporting surgeons in the OR. Though the scale is larger in aerospace, the regulatory compliance is strikingly similar. I've also gained significant insights into Lean manufacturing, supporting three cells as the site lead.Experience at the HelmAs an organizational leader with extensive experience, I have been a passionate advocate for change management.
