"Providing innovative products according to the surgeon's needs - this means Customer Focus to me."
In my job at Sutter ...
... I monitor surgical techniques, therapy methods as well as new technologies on the market, in order to align Sutter's product portfolio with the needs of the end users. This involves the extension of the existing product portfolio with new models as well as the development of new products and their placement on the market. The Swyng non-stick bipolar forceps, single-use, for example, offer a wide range of applications in the OR thanks to the proprietary non-stick technology in combination with innovative product design. It is exciting to contribute to product innovations for precision electrosurgery, that meet the requirements of surgeons in international markets and help setting the basis for a sucessful future of the company.
Customer Focus means to me ...
.... to be close to the users and providing innovative products for different applications according to the surgeon's needs, which contribute to the best possible patient's outcome.
What makes my work special ...
... is the contact with people from different areas of the company, from business development and R & D to manufacturing, sales and marketing. I particularly appreciate the versatile tasks in an international environment, e.g. working with colleagues from Sutter USA. It feels great to finally launch a new product on the market after the effort from everyone involved in the project, and to receive positive feedback from users.
What sets Sutter apart?
Sutter is a medium-sized company, which offers the freedom to create, and enables me to gain knowledge and experiences that go beyond my tasks. The employee's opinions are highly valued and considered in decision-making processes. There is a good mix of experienced and younger employees in the team, which helps to evaluate issues from different perspectives. I also appreciate the great team spirit and the positive working atmosphere - a very good balance between professionalism and joy at work.
