Results-Driven Leader - Focusing on Operational Excellence, Employee Engagement and Business Growth.
What I'm looking for
A seasoned operations leader with over 15 years of experience, offering deep expertise across call center management, radiology clinic and healthcare operations, process improvement, and strategic growth. Brings a proven record of success across diverse industries—including radiology clinics, medical cannabis, healthcare, and oil & gas—by transforming underperforming operations, optimizing end-to-end workflows, and implementing best practices that deliver measurable results. Known for building cohesive, high-performing teams and strengthening training programs to enhance both patient and customer experiences, while consistently driving revenue growth, reducing turnover, and improving operational efficiency through scalable systems and cross-functional collaboration. A Six Sigma Green Belt with a hands-on, results-driven leadership style focused on delivering sustainable, high-impact outcomes.
Most recently, led significant operational and financial improvements by streamlining inventory, clinical, and call center workflows, reducing wait times from hours to seconds, cutting a $28M A/R backlog to $4M, increasing clinic production, and driving measurable revenue growth. These initiatives, grounded in continuous improvement, cost discipline, and people-focused leadership, resulted in higher efficiency, stronger retention, and improved employee and patient satisfaction.
