  • (See Michelle's Podcast @ Spotify Link )

Michelle Lott is the founder and principal of leanRAQA, which has supported 100+ companies with regulatory strategy, regulatory submissions, quality systems compliance, FDA audits, due diligence, technical support services – (and grief counseling, because dealing with regulators can be emotionally draining!). She has served on the FDA Device Good Manufacturing Practices Advisory Committee and is a vocal advocate of EU MDR readiness. Michelle serves the medical device, dietary supplements, biologics, pharmaceutical, cosmetics, and food industries. She has a weakness for tequila and anything barbecued.
