About

I lead at the intersection of technology, business, and healthcare outcomes—building platforms and innovations that transform care delivery and unlock enterprise value. I manage an R&D portfolio of ~$10M and lead 100+ globally distributed engineers and cross‑functional experts, enabling seamless execution across regions, cultures, and regulatory environments. Our platforms are architected for global scale and deployed across diverse healthcare systems worldwide. With 22+ years of experience across engineering, architecture, and portfolio leadership, I serve as Senior Director at GE HealthCare, driving the strategy and delivery of the MedConnect and CareIntellect platforms. These capabilities accelerate digital transformation, improve interoperability, and deliver actionable insights—reducing cost‑to‑serve, increasing scalability, and enabling new business models across the care continuum. As part of Advanced Technology Development, my team builds AI‑powered applications that solve real customer problems, including predictive insights, intelligent automation, and workflow optimization. Our goal is to convert emerging technologies into solutions with measurable clinical, operational, and economic impact across global markets. Separately, I lead AI for internal productivity, shaping how engineering teams use Generative AI, intelligent automation, and knowledge‑driven tooling to enhance development velocity, quality, and decision‑making. Our operating model blends Lean and Agile principles, platform thinking, and strong engineering discipline. We run rapid, predictable release cadences; follow a philosophy of automating all repeated and manual work; and implement robust DevSecOps practices. Our platforms are designed for compliance with HIPAA, ISO, and GDPR, and built with HL7/FHIR interoperability to ensure secure and seamless data flow across global ecosystems. This approach enables resilience, continuous improvement, and consistent delivery regardless of geography. I lead as a servant leader, investing deeply in talent development, psychological safety, and high‑ownership culture. My background spans software/hardware integration, systems engineering, and strong business alignment to P&L impact. I am a patent holder in AI for healthcare and contribute to the Harvard Business Review Advisory Council, shaping thought leadership on strategy, transformation, and innovation. My mission is to empower teams to do the best work of their careers while building intelligent, global, and scalable platforms that advance healthcare and deliver enterprise value.
