Terence Musoni

Quality, Regulatory and Compliance leadership across medical device and pharma.

For nineteen years I have led quality and regulatory affairs in medical device and pharma, building the teams and quality systems that keep products safe, compliant, and trusted. I am at my best leading people, partnering across the business, and giving customers confidence in the work behind every product.

01
What I lead

Three things I am trusted to own.

i.

Compliance Program Leadership

Lead compliance programs end to end: policy and procedure authorship, mapping requirements to controls, multi-jurisdiction programs across EU, UK, US, and APAC, and clear reporting to leadership.

ii.

Audit & Regulator Leadership

Certified Lead Auditor in EU MDR 2017/745 and ISO 13485. Lead FDA, MDSAP, and notified-body audits, and partner closely with regulators and notified bodies including BSI, TUV, DEKRA, and LNE.

iii.

Quality System & Team Leadership

Build and lead the people and systems behind compliance: QMS, CAPA, post-market surveillance, regulatory intelligence, and the metrics that keep a program healthy and audit-ready.

How I lead

I lead by making the work clear, and by bringing people with me.

People first
Build the team
Hire, mentor, and keep strong QARA teams who take pride in the work
Clarity over complexity
Make it practical
Turn dense requirements into processes and training the whole business is glad to use
Confidence by default
Earn trust
Give leadership, customers, and certifying bodies confidence in every product

That is the kind of quality and regulatory leader I have been for nineteen years, and the kind of colleague I am looking to be again.
