About Ashkhen Mkrtchian

Quality management professional with over a decade of experience across multiple industries, including 7+ years in the automotive sector. I hold a Master’s degree in Quality Engineering and specialize in international standards such as IATF 16949, ISO 9001, and FSSC Throughout my career, I have led the implementation of defect management systems at headquarters level and successfully adapted them across various business units, aligning global requirements with local execution. My work has focused on audits (internal and external), process standardization, risk-based thinking, and continuous improvement initiatives in complex, fast-paced environments. I bring a structured and pragmatic approach to quality, combining technical accuracy with strong communication and intercultural collaboration skills. Fluent in English, Spanish, Catalan, Russian, and Armenian, I thrive in cross-functional teams and multicultural settings. I believe that quality is not just a function, but a mindset — one that supports long-term success and operational excellence across every level of the organization.
