Salla Laine

As Head of R&D and a member of Uniogen’s Executive Board, I lead a multidisciplinary development organization focused on delivering high‑quality, customer‑driven solutions across both IVD and non‑IVD product lines. I bring extensive experience in regulated product development, combining strategic leadership with a hands‑on understanding of standards such as ISO 13485, IVDR/IVD regulations, and ISO 14971 risk management. My background spans project leadership, R&D management, process development, and regulatory‑aligned documentation. I have a strong track record in building and refining internal processes, developing clear and practical procedures, and ensuring that development work meets both customer requirements and regulatory expectations. I lead with a collaborative, transparent, and inclusive approach - empowering teams, strengthening cross‑functional communication, and supporting continuous learning. I’m passionate about creating an environment where people can do their best work and where high‑quality, compliant solutions are delivered efficiently and with purpose.
