About Nelson Quintana
I bring over 29 years in new, novel technology development including class I, II, and (including implantable) medical devices, drug/device combination products, semiconductors, and robotics. I have thrived in small medical device startups, providing an early foundation for success in these companies providing leadership in scientific research, engineering, product development, and project management. I\'ve also held positions of increasing responsibility and leadership in manufacturing engineering, quality engineering, and R&D within these companies, as well as building world-class engineering teams managing mechanical, electrical, software, systems, test, and manufacturing engineering. I also bring a broad knowledge of product development expertise, including repeated success in developing products that improve marketability for previously unfeasible technologies. My superior problem-solving, dedication, creativity, and time management abilities have led me to commercialize over 15 products in companies such as National Semiconductor, Stryker, Dexcom, Obalon Therapeutics, Tandem Diabetes, and Altura Medical. I am a team-spirited leader with effective communication, management, team-building, and presentation skills.Skills: Strategic Planning | Change Management | High-Performance Team Building | Resource Planning, Allocation & Management | Systems Design and Engineering | Project and Program Management | Vendor Negotiations and Management | Business Partnering | Consensus Building | Diversity and Inclusion Culture Building | Regulatory Compliance Planning & Remediation | Crisis Management
