about:
I serve as a strategic advisor to executive leadership teams across complex, multi-hospital health systems, helping translate enterprise priorities into measurable financial and operational outcomes.

Over the past 20+ years, I have partnered with CFOs, COOs, Chief Supply Chain Officers, CNOs, and system presidents to drive margin improvement, governance modernization, operating model redesign, and technology-enabled transformation across organizations exceeding $2B in annual operating budgets.

My work focuses on aligning strategic vision with disciplined execution - ensuring initiatives move beyond planning into sustained performance. I specialize in:

• Enterprise performance improvement
• Operating model and governance design
• Margin strategy and non-labor expense optimization
• Executive portfolio prioritization
• ERP and digital enablement (business ownership)
• Cross-functional alignment across finance, operations, supply chain, and clinical leadership

I am particularly energized by partnering with leadership teams navigating complexity - whether stabilizing performance, modernizing governance structures, or designing sustainable operating infrastructure.

My approach blends strategic foresight with analytical rigor and disciplined follow-through. I believe performance improvement must be measurable, accountable, and durable - not episodic.

I welcome conversations with executive leaders seeking thoughtful, data-driven partnership in strengthening health system performance.

If SaaS is being squeezed, consultants should probably stop celebrating…. Because we may be next.

This something Laura Magee, Amarjit Bains and I have been discussing a lot lately.

I am particularly energized by opportunities that require a combination of executive engagement, problem structuring, solution shaping, cross-functional collaboration, stakeholder alignment, and transformation leadership.

Across roles, I have contributed to work involving advanced analytics, business intelligence, data science, Generative AI, machine learning, predictive modeling, data visualization, digital strategy, intelligent automation, insight generation, decision support, and data-driven operating models.
