As a collaborative leader, I solicit input, engage with others, and communicate openly and honestly. I take pride in my ability to form genuine connections with fellow leaders and employees of all organizational levels to drive outcomes for the organization. One of my primary goals as a leader is team and leadership development, resulting in accelerated adoption of new care delivery models, value strategies, physician partnerships, service lines, and approaches to improve the health of communities served. I’m recognized as an operational leader and strategist capable of guiding organizations through forward-thinking, complex strategy and business development initiatives by transforming siloed approaches to system-wide success.
