Skills:
A senior engineering leader with more than a decade of experience delivering complex Class III medical technologies from concept through clinical trials, combining deep technical capability with strategic product leadership. Skilled in building and guiding high‑performing, cross‑functional teams, they align engineering strategy with business objectives while shaping product roadmaps that balance innovation, risk, and regulatory expectations. Their background spans startups, consultancy, and global corporates, giving them a rare ability to operate effectively in both agile, fast‑moving environments and highly regulated development frameworks. With expertise across systems engineering, program management, cGMP manufacturing, and design‑control documentation, they consistently drive programmes that meet the needs of patients, clinicians, regulators, and commercial stakeholders.
Their leadership experience includes managing multi‑million‑pound departmental budgets, overseeing supplier and CMO relationships, and contributing directly to regulatory submissions across US, EU, and UK markets. They have supported chronic clinical studies as a field clinical engineer, strengthened risk‑management frameworks, and led multidisciplinary teams developing next‑generation neural‑interface technologies. Earlier roles in consultancy and product management broadened their capability across proposal development, client engagement, and rapid prototyping, while foundational experience in pharmaceutical device development provided strong grounding in validation, clean‑room operations, and global manufacturing. Chartered and trained in agile project delivery, they bring a balanced blend of technical authority, strategic thinking, and collaborative leadership that enables breakthrough medical technologies to progress efficiently and safely from idea to impact.
