I am a regulatory consultant that specializes in the device industry, but I started in the biotech and pharma industries in 1990. My specialty was the scale-up of new products from lab quantities to commercialization. During the 10 years, I was involved in that work, I scaled up a lot of different products. In 2000 I switched to the medical device industry. In 2004 I started my own medical device company as CEO, and in 2005 we had already completed the development of our first product. Ever since I have been specializing in quality and regulatory requirements for medical devices.
