Summary

Technical leader with extensive experience in precision engineering, regulated industry compliance, and large-scale system design. With a proven track record in managing the outcome of cross-functional teams (35+ FTEs) across high-tech sectors, I specialize in driving innovation while ensuring stringent regulatory compliance. I bring in fresh ideas and new ways of thinking everywhere I go, while remaining extrmemely collaborative with the existing norms.

Bringing deep expertise in tooling industrialization, Six Sigma methodologies (DFSS Black Belt), and process optimization, I have successfully led projects within semiconductor, medical device, and complex machinery sectors—industries with compliance frameworks mirroring pharmaceutical and biotech standards (ISO 13485, ISO 14971, and ISO 9001).

With international experience in Europe and Asia, I have helped organizations scale through strategic execution, team leadership, and regulatory alignment. My ability to lead large engineering teams, optimize production processes, and ensure technical compliance makes me a strong fit for leading the road to innovate while reducing cost and ensuring stringent quality benchmarks.
