bio

I like fixing hard problems, connecting teams, and building things that work. I’m relentlessly mission-driven, focused on bringing more hands to the fight to improve outcomes for patients and their families.

I’m a former Chief Science Officer and General Manager working at the intersection of scientific data, technology, product, and business. My experience includes full P&L responsibility for a roughly $12M business unit, leadership of 120 people across direct and matrix teams, and building cloud-based multi-omic data ecosystems for biotech, pharma, advocacy organizations, and academic researchers.

Regardless of title, my Slack or Teams profile has been “I’m the translator” which sums up the last two decades of my career. I connect scientific needs with technical capabilities, product priorities, and business realities. I help teams turn complex data and fragmented requirements into usable platforms, aligned organizations, and executable plans.
