Irvine, California, United States
I'm a medical device R&D executive with 20+ years of experience leading engineering organizations from concept to commercialization. Most recently, I served as Sr. R&D Director and Interim Vice President of R&D at Medtronic Neurovascular -- a business over $1 billion in annual revenue. My experience spans the full product lifecycle: research, new product development, sustaining engineering, quality & remediation, and M&A due diligence & integration. I've navigated PMA submissions, 510(k) clearances, and regulatory environments across the US, EU, China, Brazil, Australia, and Japan. I'm known for building high-performing technical teams, establishing the governance systems that deliver innovation at scale, and developing the next generation of engineering leaders.
