Bio

I have worked with Edwin on a number of complex projects over the last 2.5 years, his attention to detail and commitment to ensuring that quality standards are met time and time again is incredible. The business impact of this high standard of work has always been positive and ensured that customer satisfaction was always achieved. Completing the Communications business QPN (Quality Plan for Operating Room installations) for the EEMEA region was a fine example of this high caliber of work, the importance of gaining this certification for the region was very important to enable us to ensure business continuity and increase revenue across the region. Edwin is a pleasure to work with.

In my experience, Edwin has always demonstrated absolute professionalism and a meticulous eye for detail. These of course are per-requisites for someone in his field - but what makes him different is that he executes with a complete sense of balance and objectivity, taking all factors into consideration and having a wide field of vision. His engagement with people ensures that he gets the best cooperation fro the team which then ensures the very best outcomes for the health of our business, our customers and our patients. He has a genuine sense of wanting to real deliver quality throughout our organisation - not because he merely wants us to be good at what we do, but because he knows that the ultimate customer - our patients - deserve the very best we can offer at those critical moments in their lives. A sincere gentleman who is extremely good at his job. Not easy to find in the Corporate world...
