Healthcare and life sciences executive with 25+ years of leadership experience across three interconnected sectors: provider operations, academic health centers, and dental and medical device manufacturing. Track record in matrixed, highly complex organizations, with the acumen to diagnose why clinical, commercial, product, and programmatic functions underperform. Expert in developing talent, building high-performing teams, and designing scalable operating models from the ground up,  or rebuilding them when transformation is required. Brings a data-driven, evidence-based approach to negotiation, change management, and organizational transformation. Fluent in both medtech and dental technology, creating practical frameworks and systems that address critical operational and market pain points. Known for candid, clear-eyed leadership and the judgment to tell boards and executive teams what they need to hear, not simply what they want to hear.
How I Drive Value: I work across the clinical innovation-to-adoption continuum—connecting clinical insight, evidence, education, technology, and business strategy to turn promising ideas into meaningful clinical and enterprise impact.

Accelerated Clinical Innovation: I bring clinical, scientific, and business perspectives together to identify unmet needs, challenge assumptions, and guide health-tech and MedTech innovation toward solutions that create meaningful value for clinicians, patients, and organizations.

Transforming Knowledge into Competency: I translate complex clinical evidence, emerging technologies, and institutional knowledge into scalable learning and adoption strategies, including competency-based continuing education, digital learning, and micro-credentialing models that move clinicians from awareness to confident application.

Driving Systems-Level Transformation: I advise healthcare and MedTech organizations at the intersection of clinical strategy, oral-systemic health, AI and digital transformation, workforce development, and innovation adoption—connecting strategy with the realities of clinical implementation.

Clinical Need → Evidence → Innovation → Integration → Competency → Adoption → Sustained Value
