As a senior leader with 20+ years in healthcare and first-hand experience in international and domestic healthcare markets, I have earned a reputation for strong leadership and catalyzing business growth.My background of working across global markets in the Southeast Asia, India, Middle East and Europe have allowed me to successfully manage high-performing teams and demonstrate my ability to lead complex operational and strategic initiatives.Working for one of the premier pediatric tertiary care hospital in the Western United States, I gained first hand knowledge of the unique challenges that hospitals and provider organizations face in today’s ever-changing healthcare landscape. Taking that foundational knowledge I spent time as Managing Director of Technology for Huntsman Biotechnology Corporation (HBC). There I helped lay the groundwork for the acquisition of $10M in new capital, paving the way for explosive growth. I worked closely with our clinical research teams to apply for global patents and build business cases for cutting-edge therapies and technologies. This experience qualified my transition to United Health Group (UHG). At Optum, UHG’s $113B health services and technology arm, I was continually promoted into more senior leadership roles, including laying the groundwork for global business process outsourcing (BPO). These initiatives lead to more than $130M in savings, a 10% reduction in operational expense. Following these impactful activities, I was recruited to play a critical role in Optum’s global expansion by leading startup operations in the Middle East where, I built strong brand recognition, created strategic partnerships and joint ventures while building crucial relationships with prestigious health regulatory bodies. Whether I am entering new global healthcare markets, focusing on business expansion or tackling a turnaround, or building a start-up I am recognized for catalyzing growth and championing operational improvements by propelling teams to peak performance.
