I have been in the Medical Device Industry since 1996, initially on the commercial side of business, but from 200 moved to quality & regulatory affairs. I have presented at various meetings over the years for both clinical as well as regulatory affairs. I am a qualified external auditor on the ISO13485 standard and headed the FIM (First in Man) clinical trial in South Africa for a new vascular endoprosthesis for Medtronic. I hold a HDE (Education) from the University of the Witwatersrand and a post graduate diploma in strategic management from the George Washinton University. More recently, I have developed more of a passion for post market surveillance of medical devices and am currently working on projects in this field.

I am an avid mountain biker, enjoy the outdoors and participate widely in animal welfare projects.
