Nashua, N.H.-based Resonetics, a supplier of polymer laser micromachining services and systems for the life-sciences industry, has named Scott Davis as director of Quality Assurance and Regulatory Affairs. In his new role, Davis will be responsible for all aspects of the company’s quality system and regulatory compliance.
He joins the company from Haemonetics, a manufacturer of blood processing technology, where he optimized the quality information system for more than 1,100 users and coordinated integration of a large acquisition. Prior to Haemonetics, Davis was director of Corporate Quality at Kiva Systems, a business that grew quickly to 400 employees before being acquired by Amazon. There, he built a quality management system from the ground up, established a Lean/Six Sigma training program, and developed a supplier qualification and audit process. Davis also spent 10 years at Symmetricom in various quality roles, including director of Global Documentation Systems for five manufacturing sites. Earlier in his career, Davis worked at Lutron Electronics, a world leader in lighting controls, in their mechanical design group.
He graduated with honors from the University of Chicago with a bachelor's degree in physics and also received an M.B.A. with highest honors from Babson College. He currently is pursuing an master's degree in Regulatory Affairs at Northeastern University in Boston, Mass. Davis is certified as a Six Sigma black belt by the American Society of Quality.
“I’m excited to have someone with Scott’s talent and experience join our team,” said Tom Burns, Resonetics CEO. “As we embark upon our next stage of growth, Scott’s leadership will drive our organization forward with leading-edge quality practices.”
