Data analytics and AI executive at AAOS, shaping data strategy and analytics for an orthopaedic association.

Message

At the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS), I serve as Director - Data Analytics & Artificial Intelligence. My work builds on experience shaping enterprise data strategy and analytics across healthcare, finance, manufacturing, and other industries.

At The Joint Commission, I created and executed data strategy for TJC, JCR and JCIA, and led a digital transformation strategy focused on a One Company, One Platform vision. I worked on modernizing the data estate and planning the migration of operational data to Azure Cloud.

Earlier, at Wintrust Financial Corporation, I developed a three-year digital roadmap and data strategy for 15 charter banks and internal business units. At NTT DATA Americas, I directed BI practice and client delivery across multiple industries, including healthcare, life sciences, finance, and manufacturing.
