Leadership Team

1. What one word best describes US Endoscopy today?
   
2. Why do you think this word describes us today?
   We are "actively" working on several levels within the organization to deliver products to customers. From a clinical and development perspective, we are "actively" listening to our customers and the market for unmet clinical needs. We are "actively" responding to those unmet clinical needs by developing new products. We are "actively" testing to confirm that the new products that we're developing do, in fact, satisfy those unmet needs and provide clinical benefits to our customers. From a manufacturing and sales perspective, we're also "actively" focused on improving our manufacturing abilities and capabilities so that we can deliver reliable products to customers and provide on time delivery that meets our customers' expectations.
   
   
3. What is your most memorable moment at US Endoscopy?
   Actually, the moment happened early on and repeats itself almost daily. I was in a cross functional team meeting, listening to several talented and competent people from different departments within the company address issues on a new project, and was struck by the level of complexity that the company faces in developing, obtaining marketing clearance, manufacturing, and selling not just one, but numerous medical devices in different markets throughout the world. Regardless of whether it's a small company or a large company, it takes a lot of coordinated effort by a lot of people to launch a new product and deliver it to customers.
   
   
4. What sets our company apart from the rest?
   At the end of the day, it all starts and ends with the people we hire. We look for good people who are capable of developing and maintaining cooperative working relationships with others, who don't take themselves too seriously, who are committed to doing their best and who aren't afraid to learn and grow.
