My experience spans upstream strategy through downstream commercialization support, with deep clinical expertise across Interventional Cardiology and spine.I’ve led franchise- and portfolio-level strategy, advanced high-priority programs through formal development milestones, and influenced investment, prioritization, and discontinuation decisions through rigorous business and market analysis. I’m known for translating clinical and market insight into clear product strategy, aligning cross-functional teams, and guiding organizations through periods of change.As a people leader, I focus on developing talent, building trust, and creating clarity in complex environments—partnering closely with R&D, Clinical, Regulatory, and Commercial teams to deliver long-term value for patients, clinicians, and the business.I personally value my role as an engaged father, the need for nature, biking, and traveling with my family.
