“What I find truly inspiring at Radiometer is the collective awareness across all levels of the organization—everyone understands where we stand in the market as a leader in blood gas analysis and where we aim to go. There’s a clear commitment to continuous improvement, with strong support from leadership to help us reach our goals. Success is about having this shared vision, having access to the necessary resources and tools for growth, and ultimately sustaining that momentum.”
Asha envisions a future where Radiometer continues to lead the market through a unified vision and unwavering commitment to improvement. For her, success lies in collaboration, providing the right resources, and maintaining the momentum needed to achieve our collective goals.
“One of the great advantages of being at Radiometer is that it feels like a small, close-knit company where we can wear multiple hats, yet we are also part of Danaher’s broader ecosystem. This gives us access to incredible resources, including Associate Resource Groups (ARGs) and the Danaher Business System (DBS). These have been invaluable for my personal and professional growth, and foster a strong sense of community and belonging.”
Ashalatha is actively involved in advocacy work and participates in Danaher’s Associate Resource Groups (ARG). These initiatives provide opportunities for personal development, foster a sense of community, and support diversity and inclusion within the organization.
“I lead the software team responsible for developing the blood gas analyzer’s software. We also focus on data analytics to enhance the feedback loop from the field to the factory and provide critical technical support for both the lab and manufacturing floor. This diverse scope allows me to engage with the product lifecycle holistically, contributing to areas well beyond my primary role, which has been incredibly rewarding.”
In her role, Ashalatha spearheads the development of software for blood gas analyzers and leverages data analytics to improve feedback mechanisms between the field and manufacturing. Her holistic approach ensures that Radiometer’s products remain at the forefront of healthcare technology, enhancing both clinical and manufacturing processes.
“Innovation at Radiometer is an ongoing journey. Whether it’s driving incremental improvements or creating breakthroughs, the spirit of ‘Kaizen’ permeates the company. We have a wealth of resources, tools, and cross-site collaboration that supports continuous improvement. I’ve had the privilege of leading several Kaizen initiatives like the Problem Solving Process (PSP), Transactional Process Improvement (TPI), DMVM etc. These experiences have allowed me to methodically achieve outcomes I wouldn’t have reached as quickly without the structured processes we have in place.”
Ashalatha champions a culture of continuous improvement through the Kaizen philosophy. By leading various Kaizen initiatives, she ensures that Radiometer remains agile and innovative, consistently enhancing our products and processes to meet the evolving needs of the healthcare industry.
“I am passionate about problem-solving, and I’m eager to take on even larger opportunities where I can make a substantial, measurable impact. I thrive in environments where I can apply my skills to drive positive change and create lasting improvements.”
Ashalatha is excited about future opportunities to drive meaningful change within Radiometer and the broader healthcare landscape. Her passion for problem-solving and dedication to making a measurable impact continue to inspire her team and contribute to Radiometer’s mission of improving patient care.
