Monica Burt
Monica Burt is the founder of MB&A and a pioneer in Audit Intelligence, a new category of AI-driven quality assurance that transforms compliance data into predictive business insight. With over 20 years of experience in the medical device sector, she has become a trusted partner to private equity firms, investors, and innovators, guiding them through the complex landscape of global regulatory strategy and operational excellence. Recognizing that traditional, manual auditing could no longer keep pace with the industry's rapid growth, Burt shifted her focus from simply managing quality systems to modernizing them. She now leads the development of AuditNova, the industry’s first Audit Intelligence platform designed to help manufacturers and suppliers move from reactive "snapshot" audits to continuous, data-driven risk monitoring. Prior to this, Burt built MB&A into a premier boutique consulting and recruiting firm, helping medtech companies worldwide navigate product commercialization, due diligence, and talent acquisition. Her work bridges the gap between quality and operations, helping leaders view compliance not as a cost center, but as a strategic asset for supply chain continuity and growth.

AI and Automation on the Production Floor
Most organizations recognize artificial intelligence (AI) can help improve processes and procedures, but still remain uncertain on how to implement it effectively. As a result, there are still reservations about incorporating it into a company’s manufacturing protocols. The panel for this session will attempt to alleviate common fears with using AI, eliminate misconceptions, and provide early steps for adoption. Targeting low-hanging fruit areas, the panel will offer best practices and important considerations that must be addressed before moving further into adoption.
