Heidi Attia, MBA

I worked with Nick during my time at Stratasys Direct Manufacturing. He was a huge asset when it came to mechanical design validation and manufacturing process improvement. Nick helped me improve the lead time of my programs through kitting, and effectively reduced bottlenecks and station wait times on the production floor. He is an analytical thinker and is persistent in addressing complicated technical issues.

      Worked intimately in all stages of development - from up-stream development, ideation, and concepts, through detailed CAD modeling, prototyping, and iteration, into pre-production and eventually helped clients pull the trigger on full scale volume production and distribution. A small, focused team meant I got to experience all facets of the process and contribute significantly to many projects resulting in profitable end-use products.
