Core Strengths: Leading cross-functional teams and strategic initiatives across clinical operations. Designing and scaling AI-informed, regulatory-compliant care strategies. Driving performance through metrics, process innovation, and coaching. Collaborating across business, clinical, and digital health domains. Career Highlights: Reduced employee turnover from 40% to 15% in two years Delivered six consecutive top-tier audit outcomes Expanded case management coverage from 25 to 44 accounts, impacting lives Secured a 5-year contract renewal through compelling, data-driven cases Achieved $1M+ in annual savings through efficiency and workflow enhancements Improved team quality metrics by 15–25% through strategic coaching.
