“I started off my career as a scientist with a PhD in molecular biology from the Royal Veterinary College, and then after a couple of post-docs I decided to hang up my lab coat and move into the world of medical device Quality Assurance and Regulatory Affairs.
I have held senior roles in both start-up and established biotech companies and successfully implemented and maintained ISO 13485, ISO 27001 and ISO 9001, as well as working to standards IEC 62304, IEC 62366 and ISO 14971. I also produced technical file writing and CE marking submissions under the IVDD, IVDR and MDR.
In mid 2022 I took the leap and started my own medtech consultancy company. My aim is to help new, small and SME to understand quality processes, implement them in a way that brings success to the company and most importantly get your product to the market.
I have a keen interest in novel innovation, software as medical devices, femtech and sextech and would love to work with those that want to get safe products out there for all.”
