Regulatory Affairs News
Clearwater, Florida (March 27, 2017 – SCC Soft Computer is pleased to announce that Mr. Patrice JC Nedelec, CSM, CSPO, CAL, CMQ-OE, CBA, CQA, joined the SCC team in January as our new Vice President of Regulatory, QA, and Global Implementation Services, reporting directly to Mr. Gilbert Hakim, SCC’s Chief Executive Officer.
Mr. Nedelec began his journey with SCC Soft Computer on January 3, 2017. He relocated to Clearwater, Florida, from the Seattle, Washington area where he served as Executive Leader of Quality and Regulatory Affairs with Fluke Biomedical in Everett, Washington. A hands-on global leader, Mr. Nedelec joined SCC with more than 25 years’ senior- and executive-management experience in quality management, regulatory affairs, ISO certification, software development, and client support operations. He is an expert in quality system implementation, regulatory inspections, and client loyalty programs. Mr. Nedelec shared that for many years, “I knew SCC as a competitor in the LIS market, and now I can see from the ‘inside’ why SCC is such a successful company that is so widely respected in our industry. The SCC people I’ve met are knowledgeable, dedicated, and focused on service. They care about clients.” His goals include improving processes (making them simpler) and streamlining systems (making them leaner), and one of the first initiatives he is sponsoring at SCC is the transformation of our Quality System. As SCC gains a stronger foothold in the global laboratory and genetics LIS market, we look forward to sharing the positive results of this initiative. |
