Troels Engel Mortensen

I have 6+ years of experience within the healthcare industry in larger companies, have worked mainly in Denmark with a short trip to the US. My career has been focusing on ensuring high-quality and safe medical devices to patients worldwide. From the start as regulatory affairs, with entry to market by designing according to the regulations worldwide, now as quality assurance specialists, where I support the different stakeholders around a company in the products lifecycle (from R&D, product sustaining, production support, validation, post market surveillance etc.) to create a great product that helps save lives. When you enter as an engineer coming into a quality asssurance role, your technical knowledge is of paramount importance in being able to support and understand both R&D and production technician, and being able to assess the regulations. This is my focus, interact with specialists to enhance them at their job by asking the questions that make them see the possible solution for their problem, through curiosity and problem-solving tools. Thereby creating an environment that fosters ideas both 1-to-1 and as a facilitator in larger groups for larger issues.
