During his career he also held leadership positions in product and manufacturing engineering, electrical and embedded code-firmware engineering, quality and continuous improvement initiatives. Notably, Nelson led the strategy and execution of integrated business planning (ERP, SIOP/S&OP) tools and processes as well as a continuous improvement culture.
“I am committed to developing a world class medical device quality and operations team by implementing best-in-class systems and processes in support of the company’s vision for simple, sophisticated respiratory solutions for post-ICU and home environments,” shared Jeremy Nelson. “I look forward to collaborating with our team to maximize CorVent Medical’s value for all of our stakeholders by developing the winning combination of our people, processes and systems locally producing and globally distributing simple-sophisticated respiratory products.”
