High-Tech Medical Device: Advanced Robotic Instrument Development

As a business leader overseeing a $40 million annual development budget, I led the strategic direction and execution of cutting-edge advanced robotic instruments projects. This included driving the full lifecycle of product development—from initial concept through design, testing, and manufacturing. My role involved coordinating cross-functional teams, managing stakeholder expectations, and ensuring adherence to regulatory compliance in a highly technical field.

By analyzing complex portfolio trade-off decisions using business metrics, I was able to optimize resource allocation and align development priorities with business objectives. This strategic approach resulted in a remarkable 18-month reduction in overall development time for the instruments. Additionally, I successfully guided the team through a challenging redesign during the verification and validation phase, ensuring that all projects met stringent performance and quality standards. My leadership not only fostered innovation but also contributed to the company’s growth and competitive advantage in the market.
