At Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, I analyzed $37B in Medicare Part D costs and delivered national-level evidence and executive reporting. I also automated 2,100+ payer reports and visualizations, cutting report generation time 87% with SAS and SQL.

At Definitive Healthcare, I translated evidence questions into data, SaaS and analytics solutions that influenced $3M+ in direct sales. My payer access analyses explained $13M in oncology performance and informed an $18M ESRD/oncology growth opportunity.

Most recently, at MedPanel / Founding Minds, I led a two-person analytics team and built a budget-impact cost analyzer to inform care-path and financial decisions. I productized DCE/MaxDiff and RWE add-ons, contributing $1.2M+ in incremental bookings.
