Steven Keizer, Director Of Quality, CCRM
My professional experience up to now has focused on the technical side of science, leading to my personal realization that I should focus on leading high performance teams. I find that throughout my experiences, technical skills are teachable and easy to learn, but the human side of dealing with people, namely customers(both internal and external), regulators and leading change within organizations is my next focus area. During my career in the healthcare industry, either within the product offering (pharmaceuticals, devices, health products) or some other service provider, I have realized the impact this sector can have in the quality of peoples lives is tremendous.
