What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an executive healthcare IT role where I can modernize EHR and revenue cycles, build governance/PMO, lead BI dashboards, and strengthen privacy and cybersecurity to deliver rapid, board-ready results.

I’m an enterprise healthcare technology executive focused on EHR/EMR modernization, revenue cycle optimization, and measurable performance gains. At Colonial Management Group, I delivered optimized EHR replacement driving $40M+ annual revenue growth across streamlined clinical and administrative workflows.

I also transform Revenue Cycle Management through outsourcing and automation—reducing expenses by $25M, increasing collections by $80M+, reducing bad debt by $4.3M, and lowering SG&A workload by 200+ hours per month. I’ve built enterprise governance and PMO capabilities that accelerate execution, including 12 software solutions delivered in under 180 days with improved delivery cadence and cost controls.

I strengthen enterprise compliance by leading privacy governance and cybersecurity program leadership, maintaining zero cyber intrusions and sustaining readiness through OCR audits. I’ve built BI “single source of truth” dashboards (including Tableau) that achieved 95% improvement in patient retention and +4% new patient adoption enterprise-wide.
