The Vision

My work focuses on leveraging science and technology to develop solutions that maximally impact the disparities that exist in healthcare delivery throughout the world.  Combining first principle thinking with a health systems approach, I leverage my background and experience in engineering, design, innovation/startups, with my hands on clinical experience to identify opportunities that will functionally work from an operational and efficiency point of view.

My background in engineering, design, entreprenuership, and investing informs my approach in addressing the material and organizational needs in global surgery.  I have bold ideas, and I collaborate across disciplines, nonprofits, governments, and industries in order to achieve them.

My approach: I work with early stage and late-stage startups, companies, venture firms, accelerators, hospitals, governments and investors to drive appropriate technology in the healthcare ecosystem globally.  I care deeply about local capacity building, ESG, DEI and responsible innovation. The value I bring to the table is disciplined thinking, a strong moral compass, creativity, deep operational and clinical experience as well as an international, cross discipline perspective to those critical moments in which small appearing decisions can have massive impacts on the long term trajectory and success.

Recent publications that focus on entreprenuership, healthcare, venture capital and impact:

1. How Hospital Parking Kills Patients - an exploration of otherism, equity, empathy and innovation

2. What Paul Farmer’s Legacy Can Teach Venture Capital - the importance of vision, passion, accompaniment and the material needs of global health
