About Michelle Shell Collelo
Having been in quality, regulatory compliance, and risk management for 14 years, I have developed technical and leadership skills that translate across multiple industries. I am an advocate for employees that report to me. My leadership style can be described as servant leadership. A former manager once said to me, “my favorite thing about you is that you look at all the data and make the best decision based on what is in front of you. You are not afraid to make bold decisions.” I believe taking calculated risk is the path to success. My resilience has taught me that learning from mistakes is much more inspiring than not making mistakes at all. I am a dedicated, hardcore Risk, Engineering, and Quality leader with a demonstrated history of working in multiple industries including aerospace, defense, medical device, and automotive industry. I have completed continuous improvement projects resulting in major decreases in defective product and process. I am skilled in DMAICLEANRegulatory ComplianceAdvanced Product Quality Planning (APQP), Root Cause Analysis, Continuous ImprovementProject ManagementManufacturing EngineeringSustainabilityRisk ManagementEnvironmental, Health, and SafetyI am devoted to being a strong example of true leadership by creating training on quality, safety, compliance, and continuous improvement that is appropriate for the audience.
