About

I lead AI-enabled transformation in healthcare and life sciences. Over 20+ years across healthcare, pharma, biotech, and medical devices, I turn ambiguous goals into shipped systems that are adopted, compliant, and deliver measurable ROI. I map workflows, define the delivery plan, and run execution across Engineering (IT), Product (providers, scientists, lab ops), End Users/Business Sponsors (lab managers/supervisors/bench techs, PIs), with QA/Compliance and PMO as governance partners. My sweet spot is 0→1 to MVP to scale, with change management to land adoption in patient centric, regulated settings. Selected outcomes: • $4.6M annual cost savings by automating patient results delivery and eliminating inefficiencies. • 10% annual revenue lift by eliminating manual operations during $60MM M&A tech integration. • AI-driven report generation/review/decision support, cutting cycle time and rework. • Critical Business Unit Recovery after a cyber-attack enabling drug development to resume without delays. Strengths: • Technical delivery leadership across complex, interdependent workstreams • Workflow automation and enterprise systems integration • Responsible AI with regulatory expertise • Exec-ready storytelling: translating technical tradeoffs to business impact and ROI If you’re shipping AI in patient-safety-critical settings and need adoption, reliability, and clear ROI, let’s connect. Please note: The insights I share reflect my personal views and are not affiliated with any employer or client organizations, past or present.
