Summary
I have over 30 years of experience in the development, implementation and maintenance of quality management systems. This includes not only ISO 13485 but also ISO 9001. As head of a quality department and QMB I was directly responsible for implementing and maintaining QMS for many years.
Since 2023 I have been working in a project, among other things, to consider global corporate requirements in the concerns of an acquired company.
As a certified auditor (ISO 13485) I am happy to share my knowledge and have trained internal auditors and conducted customer audits with this background.
Document and change management are essential prerequisites for my daily work.
