about their ability to make an impact.

A Better Way

“I thought there’s got to be a better way to do testing. When I found that the team at Cepheid was creating products and processes that were less centralized and closer to the patient – I jumped on board. Moving it more out of the lab with the ability to work with physicians and doctors is amazing.”

Rapid Learning & Growth

“DBS tools help guide associates in getting things done, and growing up much, much faster. I would say, because of the tools that are taught as part of Danaher Business System, like duty management, visual management, and PSP, the learning curve and growth has been pretty rapid. And it quickly becomes like second nature to use those tools to help guide you.”
