Summary
I have a deep and broad experience in healthcare, largely focused on clinical devices and equipment. I have worked extensively across multiple departments, internally and externally, to better understand the problems and opportunities across the entire healthcare value-chain. I have worked to identify and co-create technologies and solutions for healthcare over the past 14 years, efforts which resulted in two successful commercial products which are at the forefront of their respective markets. My skills for rapidly assimilating and connecting complex information and processes have allowed me to contribute in high-performing cross-functional leadership groups inside and outside of UPMC, where I spent the last 30 years of my working life.
