Cambridge
Consultants doubles US office
Adds
four new US staffers, expects
more in service to the medical
device industry
Cambridge Consultants, a 45-year
old outsourced product design,
development and technology consulting
firm founded in Cambridge UK,
announced that it has hired
four more staff members in its
US headquarters office in Boston.
These appointments have more
than doubled the size of the
Boston office in the past six
months, and allow Cambridge
Consultants to staff a US laboratory
and expand sales and marketing
functions in service to the
firm’s medical device
clients.
The
new hires include G. Wayne Booker,
named as Head of Business Development.
Booker formerly ran his own
engineering consultancy after
having led sales and marketing
at Product Genesis. In addition
to leading US marketing and
sales efforts, he carries overall
project responsibility for a
number of programs in patient
monitoring, critical care and
coronary disease.
Cambridge
Consultants also appointed:
•
Christopher Kadamus, Senior
Design Engineer. Kadamus previously
worked at ACMI Corporation as
a product development engineer.
• Mark Manasas, Project
Manager, Medical Devices. A
mechanical engineer, Manasas
formerly ran Manasas R&D,
a medical device consultancy.
Prior to that he was V.P. of
Engineering at Fossa Medical,
Inc.
•
Miwa Watkins, SPHR, as Human
Resources Consultant. A HR executive
experienced at staffing startups,
Ms. Watkins worked with SoftArtisans,
and AIR, Inc., prior to working
with Cambridge Consultants.
"Boston
is home to both a thriving medical
device industry and a community
of highly qualified technical
personnel," said Andrew
Diston, senior vice president
and managing director of US
operations, "Cambridge
Consultants has worked successfully
for international companies
for decades. Over 40 percent
of our business is located in
the US. It’s vital that
we are close to our customers
for ongoing projects. Our intention
is to keep doubling staff every
six months, until we achieve
critical mass of about 75 people
in Boston and about 250 staffers
in the US. We have been delighted
with the exceptional caliber
of local engineers and scientists
we are seeing, and know they
are key to our successful expansion
here."
