I leverage my 30+ years of experience as a director of government relations at Siemens Healthineers, one of the world's largest medical technology manufacturers, and as a senior director of government relations at SmithKline Beecham, one of the world's largest pharmaceutical and vaccine manufacturers (now GlaxoSmithKline).For at least a decade, I held a position on the Medical Imaging Technology Alliance (MITA) Board, leading the Washington Representatives Committee, where I led industry strategy on a variety of topics from radiation dose exposure reduction, TriCare and Veterans' Affairs coverage, and medical technology reimbursement and coverage.My specialties are federal government relations, policy development and political strategy, with a focus on medical technology, medical imaging, in-vitro laboratory diagnostics and AI. I have a proven track record of achieving quantifiable legislative accomplishments in HIT, medical imaging and lab test reimbursement, and FDA policy. I also have extensive experience in developing and vetting federal policy positions, securing and developing testimony for senior executives, negotiating on behalf of my company and industry, and building coalitions and partnerships with key stakeholders.
