What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead global clinical research or healthcare operations portfolios, build scalable operating models, develop leaders, and partner with executives to deliver measurable outcomes in regulated environments.

Senior healthcare operations and program leader with experience directing complex, cross-functional teams across operations, project and portfolio management, regulatory functions, and process improvement. I build scalable operating models, strengthen governance, improve execution, and create greater visibility through KPIs, risk management, and standardized processes.

My leadership approach combines strategic thinking with disciplined execution. I have led multi-site portfolios, developed governance and escalation frameworks, implemented performance dashboards, improved operating consistency, and partnered across functions to solve complex business challenges.

I am focused on Senior Director and AVP-level opportunities in healthcare operations, operational excellence, enterprise program management, transformation, and process optimization where I can help organizations improve performance, accountability, and sustainable execution.
