Concerned About Confidentiality?
I'm a practising VP of Quality & Regulatory Affairs and an independent QMS consultant.
That real-world experience adds value and a unique perspective to the challenges you face —but only with clear, deliberate boundaries.
My consultancy is designed to avoid conflicts of interest by default:
❌ No product, assay, or technology-specific advice
❌ No work on proprietary platforms or pipelines
✅ System-level QMS, leadership, and capability improvement only
I improve how your system learns—not what it produces.
There is no practical pathway for information transfer, even unintentionally.
My operating model mirrors lead auditors and notified bodies: system-focused, firewall-controlled, and conflict-managed.
If a potential conflict exists, I will decline the work.
A brief video explaining what Datod does, and why it matters to your business.

- Product recalls cut by 50%.
- New product development cycle time cut by 50%.
- Substantial cost savings in Quality System execution.
