An executive with a passion for building comprehensive technology solutions within the healthcare and life-science industries. My rich experience at large-scale organizations taught me to recognize that technology can never be delivered with a narrow focus. Cutting-edge transformation is best orchestrated when there is a balanced synergy with other areas of the business. Over the course of my career, I have partnered with diverse executives and teams; such as domestic & international blood product transplant centers, stem cell genetic research medical officers, and advanced technology business executives. I utilize a holistic approach to solving complex challenges, focused not just on technological change but also the wider business strategy. I’ve proven that I can handle high-profile, large investment projects head-on. As Director of Enterprise Architecture at Fortune 5 company, UnitedHealth Group/Optum Technology, I led Enterprise Solution Architecture for the largest health insurance platform transformation initiative in UHG history, worth $1.5B. By rebuilding, revitalizing, and rebranding the Enterprise Solution Architecture team, I set the stage for an effective technology migration. Partnering with the entire spectrum from c-level leadership to support architects, I demonstrated my ability to effectively blend architecture needs within the larger corporate framework. My commitment to results is not just limited to the private sector. During my tenure at Be the Match, I developed and submitted strategic responses to the US Department of Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), resulting in the organization being awarded three high-profile contracts worth over $37 Million. Additionally, I partnered closely with Senior United States Navy officers on grant proposals for US Department of Defense (DoD) Navy projects, including vital contingency preparedness. Additionally, outside of the private sector, I mentor at the Minnesota CoderDojo Youth Artificial Intelligence Racing League, to bring exciting technology to underserved youth. I’ve received recognition for my ability to solve complex systems and architecture challenges with clear execution and dynamic leadership. Respected as an executive technologist, teams can rely on me as a change agent in a diverse range of business environments.
