About

An independent advisor
with operator experience

I am a medtech executive and subject matter expert in value-based reimbursement, member experience optimization, and SaaS-enabled digital transformation. I advise medical device, payer, and healthcare technology organizations on aligning regulatory dynamics, quality performance drivers, and financial sustainability with scalable engagement solutions and real-world evidence frameworks.

My work spans the full commercialization spectrum — from startups securing their first reimbursement codes, to growth-stage companies entering new geographies, to established players navigating CMS policy change, competitive bidding reform, and value-based care partnerships.
