About

I am a C-Suite healthcare executive with 40+ years of experience in building businesses and driving sustainable growth for global companies across North America, Latin America, Europe/Middle East/Africa (EMEA), and Asia Pacific (APAC). I have served as CEO, President, strategic advisor, and board director, leading large global teams and achieving superior performance through effective leadership. My expertise lies in healthcare and employee benefits, with a focus on program design, financing, implementation, consumerism, well-being, and managed healthcare delivery. As a strategic visionary, I analyze market trends, competitive pressures, and customer needs to identify growth opportunities and reposition assets. My track record includes successfully restoring growth to underperforming businesses, reversing declining revenues, and driving revenue growth. I also excel in early-stage healthcare investment and have been involved in evaluating direct investment opportunities. I am passionate about community engagement and sit on the boards of Sword Health Technologies, Inc., and Back On My Feet (a not-for-profit supporting the homeless), and board support of the University of Michigan Marching Band organization through student scholarships. I am open to discussing opportunities involving for-profit board positions and strategic advisory roles for private equity and/or venture capital funds.
