PROFILE
How might policies and health systems adapt to digital futures?
POLICY AND ADVISORY
Developing new policies in for digital transformation
Agile — fail fast, fail often. These are words that you would use to describe some of the most successful companies today, yet these are words that you would rarely hear in health care or policy. Are we ready for the assimilation of intelligent solutions in health care? The time is now.
EXPERTISE
How might we bring out the best in people?
PEOPLE AND CHANGE
Leading with empathy: hearts, heads, and hands
In an era of constant transformation, the ability to lead people and change is the quintessential skill of the decade. People don’t want to know how much you know; people want to know how much you care. Authenticity, diversity, and inclusivity are my core leadership values.
How might we build solutions that work for people?
PRODUCT AND DESIGN
Turning failure into success in the health tech industry
Innovations often suffer from inventor's syndrome — the misguided belief that an invention has an inherent and immediate market. Balancing emergent and deliberate strategy, I apply disruptive innovation theory to unlock new markets and opportunities.

As one of his professors over the course of four years, I witnessed his extraordinary work ethic and subsequent academic achievements, engagement and leadership in professional activities and groups, active involvement in pharmacy and community organizations, effective communication skills, and his dedication to excellence and innovation in health care.
