I earned my degree in Biomedical Engineering (BEng) from "Polytechnique Montreal" which is Canada's leading engineering school and ranks among the world's top research universities and has the largest volume of industry-partnered research grants. It is also the headquarters for NSERC (National Science & Engineering Research Center of Canada). I then pursued my master of engineering degree (MEng) from the same university in Industrial Engineering. Furthermore, I have an MBA from Questrom School of Business (Boston University). I hold multiple professional licenses and certifications related to engineering, product management and was the recipient of PMI's (Project Management Institute) Emerging Manager of 2019.
I started my career at Zimmer Biomet which is one of the largest orthopedic medical device development company, where I led roles in design quality engineering and product management and supported multiple product and software launches on a global scale. I then pursued my career at Straumann Group, the largest dental implant medical device manufacturer in the world, where I led product management on key products and supported the development of a new business unit in digital dentistry. With my desire to expand my knowledge base in medical device development, I then transitioned into the cardiac space and worked for Boston Scientific. Current, I am working as the Director of Product Management at Henry Schein's dental implant division: BioHorizons.
