  • Led the overseas manufacturing transfer of a high-value instrument (>$50K/unit, 8% margin) and its $5K companion device (100-unit demand) within 3 months, while continuously adapting to engineering changes and customer-driven feedback. Acted as a key liaison between engineering and product teams, triaging functionality, usability, and aesthetic inputs to refine execution plans in real time.
  • Orchestrated cross-functional alignment across Manufacturing, Quality, Regulatory, and Supply Chain to ensure seamless, FDA- and ISO-compliant product transfers. Developed comprehensive transfer-readiness documentation—including training plans, complexity assessments, and ramp checklists—for teams in both the U.S. and Costa Rica.
  • Personally managed procurement execution—placing POs, resolving BOM discrepancies, and clarifying part changes with suppliers when internal teams faced challenges keeping up with shifting customer requirements. Led detailed technical discussions with domestic and international vendors, ensuring engineering and quality requirements were fully understood to support robust supplier relationships.
  • Led a MedTech project developing a device for integration with Zeiss surgical microscopes, enabling fluorescence-guided oncological neurosurgery.
  • Directed cross-functional teams—onsite engineers and distributed software developers—to execute verification testing across firmware, software, hardware, and compliance. Oversaw build readiness and technical delivery to support clinical adoption.
