Leading healthcare initiatives for over 20 years

Healthcare AI does not often fail because of weak models. It fails at the point of governance, workflow integration, and organizational change. I lead programs that close that gap. With 20+ years of experience across healthcare consulting, program leadership, and operational transformation, I operate at the intersection of strategy, architecture, and execution.

My recent Johns Hopkins University AI in Healthcare certification builds on a deliberate upskilling path across AWS AI for Decision Makers, NLP, RPA, and agentic systems—focused on where AI succeeds or fails in practice: within clinical workflows, governance structures, and real-world adoption environments. I apply this combined experience to strengthen how organizations bridge traditional healthcare IT with modern AI capabilities, emphasizing disciplined program execution, governance, and sustainable operational integration.

Healthcare AI programs don't fail because the model is wrong. They fail at governance, adoption, and execution. That's where I work.
