Elmer Pathetic

Elmer Pathetic is an independent ISO 9001 consultant and retired ISO auditor. He previously worked for BSI as an ISO/TS 16949 automotive auditor.

Elmer appears down-and-out, wearing an ill-fitting suit and mismatched clothes. Despite this, he has an overinflated sense of importance, and believes he is “a big deal” in the world of ISO certifications. His wife left him when he was 18, and he has never remarried, but is alleged to have a 96-year old girlfriend. He has a pet goat named Chester who urinates on his kitchen floor, with Elmer’s permission.

Elmer is from Kentucky, but now travels the United States by Greyhound bus, only serving clients within reasonable Uber distance from the bus depot.

He wears two gold earrings because of course he does.

Why we report on these topics

Since 2000, Oxebridge has worked to improve ISO and related certification schemes by identifying problems and then proposing solutions. We report on issues affecting standards users because so few other news outlets do. Our belief is that in order to fix the problems in these schemes, we must first understand the nature and breadth of those problems. Our reporting aims to do just that. Elsewhere on the Oxebridge site you will find White Papers and other articles proposing ideas to correct these problems.
