I live by three guiding principles:(1) Pursue the impossible because nothing truly is(2) Inject positivity and optimism into everything because life should be enjoyable(3) Strive to positively influence the world so that we all win at this game called lifeProfessionally, I help deliver clinical innovations to surgeons and patients around the world by building the businesses and teams needed to bring them to market.A former management consultant and venture investor, I am a strategist and financier who sees things differently by merging the perspectives of two different disciplines: (1) creating & executing actionable plans and (2) optimizing resource allocation to maximize growth and returns. Prior to co-founding Woven, I invested in neuromusculoskeletal innovation as part of a specialty investment office. I am also a former management consultant including time with a large, public consulting firm that advised companies and institutions on growth and M&A. Throughout my career, I've facilitated transactions with corporations such as Johnson & Johnson, Zimmer, Stanley, Stryker, AOL, Zimmer, and Olympus, and middle-market firms seeking to acquire tuck-ins. I've also supported the integration of clinics, businesses, and hospitals for multi-billion-dollar systems, acquired small businesses in strategic consolidation to expedite growth, and exited businesses for $800+mm in aggregate proceeds. For hobbies, I enjoy mastering any new skills, good competition, and turning daily tasks into fun games with my family.
