15+ years experience in R&D Project Management and Regulatory Affairs
Michael Hottner
Managing Director
Senior Consultant R&D Project Management and Regulatory Affairs
My heart's beating for two different worlds: Product Development and Regulatory Affairs. I am both a passionate engineer and a regulatory geek. This enables me to easily navigate between regulatory paperwork, innovative product concepts and fast paced R&D projects. So I definitely know how to connect the dots from early design prototypes to the final page of a regulatory submission.
My work experience covers more than 15 years in multiple positions from demanding coordinational tasks like Project Management, Project Coaching, M&A Integrations, Regulatory Affairs Management down to really profound nerdy subject matters tasks like biological evaluations, toxicological risk assessments, clinical evaluations, clinical trial management, submission compilation and technical documentation creation or remediation.
Just give me a task and I get it done – Straight Forward.

12+ years experience in Cleaning, Disinfection and Sterilization Validations
Michael Bertram
Senior Consultant Reprocessing, Cleaning, Disinfection & Sterilization
I am your guy for the ‘dirty stuff’. No matter if it shall be clean, disinfected or sterile, my ultimate goal is an SAL of 10-6. If you have no clue what this means your should better join one of my trainings.
14 years ago I started my career as a service technician for steam sterilizers, so I really know from the scratch how such devices work. After various reprocessing related positions with small, medium and multinational companies I founded SteraClean in 2017. Since then I supported numerous companies with reprocessing consulting, process validations and hands-on-project work.
