Boards & advisory

What I'd bring to a board

Consumer health services at scale. Digital and data operating models. What integration after an acquisition takes in practice, having done it from the inside.

Currently inside the largest network of healthcare providers in the world by hospital count: 3,000 hospitals across the globe. Comfortable in the executive committee and on the operating floor, and used to translating between them.
