Employee Spotlight – Kevin Humphreys

Engineering Manager for the Forest, Heritage and Ramvac Brands

Kevin has been with DENTALEZ for over 8 years and continues to grow and expand his reach throughout our organization. He’s known as being well-organized, and a very analytical thinker. However, it’s his excellent management and communication skills that have allowed him to develop into one of our most effective managers. His supervisors add, “He applies sound engineering principles into project design and project management and his product knowledge and ability to come up with creative solutions is what makes him an integral part of the organization.”

We asked Kevin our favorite line-up of questions related to his work for us at DENTALEZ:

What roles had you previously held (whether at DENTALEZ or another company) that either made it possible for you to enter your desired field or helped you learn specific things for your position today?

I’m happy to say that Parker Hannifin introduced me to industrial manufacturing, while Medtronic was my entry into medical device design and development.

What do you like about working in the dental industry?

Working in this industry is very complex and involves a diversified product portfolio that demands a wide-ranging skillset.

What’s your favorite aspect of your job?

Interaction with Technology! In larger organizations, most engineering roles are very compartmentalized. But here, you are involved with any number of technologies and methods that impact device development. Keeps the workday fresh and not boring!

What’s your favorite DENTALEZ product and why?

The 6400 Dental Chair of course! It’s the most complicated device I have worked on. I’m not just talking about the device and its many attributes; it’s everything that everyone puts into launching a device with wireless monitoring and comfort features. It was a lot of work that I am proud of… even the regulatory part.

Kevin thank you for all you contribute to our team, and the work we do together for DENTALEZ!
