What I'm looking for

I seek a regional/divisional operations role (remote or travel-based) focused on multi-site scaling, de novo expansion, compliance, and leadership development, with opportunities to drive profitability and operational excellence.

I am a senior veterinary operations leader with 15+ years scaling multi-site hospital networks through field leadership, de novo expansion, compliance, and performance optimization. I combine hands-on clinical experience with operational and financial accountability to improve outcomes across urgent care and general practice models.

I have led regional and multi-site operations, owning P&L, budgeting, KPI management, and workforce planning while launching multiple de novo hospitals within aggressive timelines. My work emphasizes workflow optimization, standardized SOPs, and scalable systems to ensure consistent clinical quality and operational performance.

I prioritize compliance and safety, implementing OSHA, DEA, HIPAA, and state regulatory programs, and I hold an OSHA 30 certification. I have built and coached high-performing leadership teams, overseen inventory and supply chain optimization, and driven cost-control initiatives to improve profitability.

I seek roles where I can continue to lead expansion, operational excellence, and cross-functional collaboration to deliver superior patient care and business results. I am committed to developing leadership pipelines and repeatable playbooks that enable sustainable growth.
