I have spent 22 years in medical devices, working on all varieties of products and projects, spanning Class II, Class III, combination products, and pharmaceuticals.  I've managed R&D development projects as well as transfer of a Class III manufacturing facility, implementation of Salesforce.com, pharmaceutical commercial launch and distribution, and lean manufacturing.  

I believe that project management often breaks down in startup medical device companies because the executive team doesn't have the information or forum needed to properly review and update the strategic plan on a routine basis.  That's where I come in - we put the strategic plan together like a jigsaw puzzle, in a neutral environment, using visual tools that are easy to understand and manipulate.  The strategic plan shows how the work in progress and the future work are related, and can be quickly updated to reflect changes in scope, allowing the team to proactively plan around real or anticipated changes in real time. 

As a seasoned Project Manager, I offer my services to startups and established organizations in the Medical Device, Pharmaceutical, BioTech, CleanTech, and Industrial sectors. My journey spans over 20 years in the medical device industry, encompassing project management and product design, immersing me in all facets of new product development.

My extensive experience includes leading cross-functional teams to successfully define user and product requirements, fulfill design control requirements including risk management and V&V, fabricate prototypes and pilot lots, secure regulatory clearance, and launch new products. I have a demonstrated track record of leading teams to develop and launch innovative products.

My leadership skills enable me to build and guide high-performing cross-functional teams, drive efficient development processes, and effectively define and manage project scope, schedule, budget, risk, and resources to meet project goals and deadlines.

A significant part of my career was spent as a Mechanical Engineer designing medical devices, pharmaceuticals, and industrial products. This experience has provided me with a deeper understanding of the work required to develop and launch products, and if needed, I can support the project team as a contributor.

My blend of project management skills and hands-on engineering experience makes me a unique asset to any team, ready to lead and contribute to our shared success.
