Quality isn’t a checklist. It’s a promise you keep to your customers, your regulators, and your own team.

I’ve spent more than 25 years helping organizations keep that promise, building quality and compliance programs from the ground up in some of the most heavily regulated industries there are.

I started in software testing and grew into senior leadership across life sciences, automotive engineering, and insurance. I have served as a VP of Quality and Compliance and Data Protection Officer. I have built quality and compliance functions from scratch. I owned the Quality Management System, hosted regulatory inspections and client audits, qualified vendors, and led the data privacy program. Earlier in my career, I led quality teams in industrial software and in the insurance sector, including release governance for engineering programs.

That range shapes how I work. I know what it takes to satisfy an inspector, and I know what it takes to ship software on a deadline. I build systems that do both.

Based in Kitchener, Ontario, serving clients remotely and locally on site.
