About

Team Leader and Engineer. I have gained valuable experience over the years in complex device prototyping, testing and manufacturing for a range of industries, including Medical and Automotive. I enjoy advancing new technologies from concepts to commercial candidates, working in the front end of innovation. My leadership experience spans through technology strategy development/ tactical implementation, stage gating concept to prototype, quality assurance, risk management, IP leveraging and early innovation adoption by engaging with clients. I have a track record in leading multi-cultural and multi-disciplinary teams towards delivering, in ultra-fast time, prototypes within budget, by employing effective staff behavioural techniques to promote motivation, enthusiasm, creativity and by developing strong supplier/university partnerships. I believe in embracing holistic program management, staying focused on lean processes, efficient goal setting and in exceeding end client expectations.
