What I'm looking for

I seek senior operational leadership in healthcare or digital health where I can drive compliance, scale integrated health products, optimize resources, and mentor multidisciplinary teams.

I am an accomplished healthcare operations and management professional with over 15 years of leadership experience across public health, digital health innovation, and organizational administration. I have led healthcare facilities, technology projects, and cross-functional teams to meet strategic objectives.

As CEO and Founder of a digital health company, I directed product development, clinical services, finance, administration, and customer engagement, launching integrated products such as MyHealth, Pharmcare, MyDoctor, and PharmPOD. I regularly translated strategic goals into measurable performance indicators and reported to the board on operational performance and budgets.

My clinical research experience as a study pharmacist spans multiple sponsored trials where I managed pharmaceutical investigational products, stock, SOPs, dosing accountability, and quality assurance. In public sector roles I supervised district- and hospital-level medicines management, formulary development, procurement, and pharmacovigilance to improve access and compliance.

I combine strong operational discipline, budgeting and resource optimization skills with technical and IT experience, enabling data-driven continuous improvement, regulatory compliance, and sustainable performance across teams and systems. I am recognized for integrity, stakeholder coordination, and a results-driven approach.
