I created a path into healthcare information technology and design straight out of my masters in public health in 2003. From there, it has been one hell of a ride building, investing, and advising a long list of clients and ventures in healthcare, public sector, and consumer digital health.

In the early 2000s I led teams in R&D, Marketing and Sales developing key products in a major HCIT company and had a seven year tenure in Big 4 Consulting.

In the mid 2000s after two terms in healthcare startups, one successful and one not so successful, I decided to take my lessons and share them with the greater entrepreneurship community. By being a FUSE Executive Fellow, I influenced policy, funding and public/private partnership contracts to enhance the resources for Cleveland, Ohio - a rust belt city that is reinventing itself.

As an extension of my fellowship project, I accepted a role as Director for a Nationally Ranked Midwestern Accelerator launching the Cleveland market. I am currently in public sector, working to stand up the FDA’s Digital Health Center of Excellence and beyond.

I continue to work with a portfolio of great founders in the capacity of challenge reviewer, learning about AI/ML policy, and creating projects/programs that are tech-enabled equitable digital health focused.
