As a business strategist my career has focused on driving a holistic approach to organizational growth as well as team leadership. I have repeatedly been entrusted to lead in high-impact roles that advance revenue performance through sales, product management, and strategic partnerships. A key contributor to my success thus far is my ability to work effectively across senior leadership, physician groups, and multidisciplined teams to execute business-impacting objectives, cultivate success, and advance market performance.
