Summary
With twenty plus years of experience and success in the healthcare industry, I have worked from hospital point-of-care to executive leadership with a track record of identifying growth opportunities, financial accountability, and operational excellence. My success has been due to my ability to work thru my team and cross-functional partners to create a true partnership between all organizational levels and transform the cynicism that undermines cultural change into a high degree of synergy. I have a keen ability to detect and avoid costly mistakes by creating a culture that encourages responsible divergent views and examines them seriously for merit while adhering to the organizational mission and its core values. I am seeking to leverage my exceptional company management, strategic mindset, negotiation and operations excellence skills in a new challenge. I work well with established teams to spearhead new markets, assess specialty drug pipeline trends, innovate with lean principles and drive for results.
