I am a physician executive and Board Chair with more than 30 years of leadership experience across the provider and payer sectors. My career has included clinical practice, health systems, and health insurance, giving me a firsthand understanding of the clinical, financial, and organizational factors that affect performance in complex organizations.
Strategic, Collaborative Leader
Much of my work has involved bringing people together around difficult issues and finding solutions that work. I am comfortable making difficult decisions, having candid conversations, and listening to different points of view.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, I served as a liaison between healthcare systems and other stakeholders, helping maintain stability and minimize disruptions to patient care. That experience reinforced the importance of listening to the people affected by decisions while also considering the needs of the organization.
Throughout my career, I have worked to align people, incentives, and strategy to improve organizational performance. I believe good decisions come from understanding different perspectives, asking thoughtful questions, and being willing to address difficult issues directly.
Physician Executive with Enterprise Perspective
My experience across healthcare allows me to see both the clinical and business sides of the decisions facing physicians, health systems, and payers. I understand the realities of patient care as well as the financial and strategic pressures that influence how organizations operate.
My work in value-based care has involved bringing providers, health systems, and payers together around new approaches to care and reimbursement. That work has reinforced for me the importance of having strategy, incentives, leadership, and execution working together to improve outcomes.
I bring that perspective to board service, where I focus on asking good questions, encouraging open discussion, and helping organizations work through complex issues and make thoughtful decisions.
