Objective

growth of an innovative company. The experience and familiarization with Lean principles and the

ISO clauses / certification process will

be used to accomplish this goal.

My ability to interpret and develop Procedures, Instruction and Forms to bring a Company to the

point of being Certified in ISO 9001 and ISO 13485 will benefit any Company looking for

Certification or upgrading their current QMS.
