Summary

As a serial entrepreneur, I have spent my career working in various problem-solving and strategic roles, from presidential campaigns to start-up incubators to healthcare innovation. I have founded several successful companies, including Basis Health, where I currently serve as the founder and president. At Basis Health, I bridge the gap between business development and overall strategy, leading the company from start-up to growth and scaling stages. I am responsible managing assets, developing products, overseeing M&A, and creating growth strategies. I have a passion for finding innovative ways to solve complex problems, especially in the healthcare sector, where I have expertise in value-based care. My mission is to make a positive impact on the world through entrepreneurship and innovation.
