About Robert Spadafore

Being first to cross the wrong finish line is something that is pretty hard to brag about. In the regulatory and compliance world, figuring out the correct path to follow is the critical piece of information your company needs to be successful. In order to succeed ahead of all your competition, you need to provide that knowledge to your development team as early in the process as possible. Now your real question, how do you do that?Having years of experience both internally working at compliance agencies, as well as experience from the customer standpoint being the client of these agencies, I have acquired a unique set of skills to understand not only the correct path to target, but proven methods and techniques to lead the team there.With an educational foundation of mechanical engineering, years of experience with National and International Approval bodies and processes, and being immersed within new product development cycles, my team based mentality has always enabled me to leverage as well as help develop the strengths of the many people I have worked with. Above all else, I truly feel that people are people first, and I have always kept that in perspective when working with many great colleagues over the years. If you were to ask people whom I have worked with in the past, I would hope that they first would say, “Rob is good people”, and then go on to speak about my professional merit. Now is the time to put all of this investment to good use and reap the benefits. If you’re looking for a leader for your world-class compliance team to help your company leverage the safety approvals and regulatory requirements, rather than view them as hurdles and roadblocks, I believe that we should talk.
