About Amand K.

A technical leader and manager with 14 years of experience in medical devices focused on bringing cost-effective, customer-centric solutions to market to improve outcomes and accessibility to care. I lead by answering the question \"why\"; it is my moral compass. It provides a basis for aligning teams on common patient-centric goals to create a culture of collaboration, accountability, and trust. I am able to influence and communicate effectively to anyone from highly technical engineers to senior leaders with a propensity for connecting large scale business strategy to detailed design. I hold a successful track record leading cross-functional teams through early phase research and technology development, detailed design development, carrying products through design transfer, commercialization, and remediating CAPAs. Key Achievements:• Led efforts to reduce the projected bill-of-materials cost for a multimillion-dollar capital equipment project by 25% through managing a cross-functional team of electrical, mechanical, and software engineers. • Led a CAPA investigation and identification three most likely causes of failures; implemented software and hardware design changes resulting in a 70% reduction in complaints and saved replacement costs of nearly $2M.• Developed and directed cross-functional engineering staff through a robust decision-making process collaborating with all matrixed stakeholders reducing program issues by enabling accountability and program alignment.
