Dani Guirand

As an In-Room OnSite Specialist I drive projects forward by coordinating cross-functional teams, troubleshooting complex equipment issues ensuring proper laparoscopic equipment functionality in ORs, and training stakeholders to ensure smooth adoption of new workflows. My work in high-pressure clinical environments has strengthened my ability to manage competing priorities, anticipate risks, and keep teams aligned through fast-paced transitions. With a strong foundation in healthcare and technology, I've delivered technical, clinical, and educational guidance to surgeons and medical staff, led software and equipment demonstrations that support successful implementations.

I bring a project management mindset to every initiative-structured, organized planning, clear communication, and a focus on delivering solutions that work for both clinicians and patients.
