Executive operator — product, strategy & scale in healthtech & AI

Let’s Build What’s Next

I complement founders and operators where it matters most—team, product, and operating cadence—so progress compounds. I also roll up my sleeves when it helps: code and architecture reviews, pricing and financial models, production issue triage, HR and policy work, and practical marketing plans. Whether scaling operations, transforming patient experience, or integrating technology that delivers patient‑first value, my focus is measurable outcomes through aligned execution, cross‑functional clarity, and a shared sense of purpose.

How I lead

I build leaders and install a simple operating system so teams ship, learn, and scale. Clarity over chaos; outcomes over activity; respect for craft.

• Translate strategy into operating models, incentives, and metrics people can actually run.
• Align product and delivery to generate value, control costs, and push innovation; starting with real customers (external and internal).
• Build cross‑functional leadership and vendor ecosystems that scale without adding drag.
• People & culture: define roles and incentives; resolve conflict early; coach managers into leaders; set clear decision rights; hire for values and performance.
• Mission, vision and values with market focus: clarify who we serve and why; shape MVP and positioning; reinforce the story in goals and cadence.
• Hands‑on when it clears the path: code reviews; production incident response; pricing and financial models; business plan revisions; MSAs/SOWs and vendor diligence; HR incidents; first‑pass marketing plans.

Leaders that scale focus on clarity, trust, and accountability. Leadership is a team sport: enabling people to operate at their best through clear goals, honest feedback, and purpose-aligned culture.

I prioritize focus over frenzy, shared purpose over silos, and long-term capability over short-term control. My role is to align strategy, execution, and metrics so teams ship, learn, and improve every cycle.

Product & Operational Mindset

I bridge product, engineering, and operations, translating real business problems into processes and technology that streamline, stabilize, and empower people. Today that means AI-native by default (agents, copilots, data pipelines) with governance, continuous evaluation, and human-in-the-loop safety.

My operating style is adaptive, customer-centered, and lean. I flex across product, engineering, and operations, balancing structure with responsiveness and turning ambiguity into momentum. We solve the real problem fast, then build the system to solve it repeatedly: simple workflows, clear ownership, light instrumentation, and AI-native automation that lifts quality, throughput, and experience. When speed matters, I write or review the thing myself and sit with the team until the next release ships.

What I do

Most of my work sits in the 1→N window: scale what’s working, fix what’s breaking, and hire the first leaders who can keep it going.

• Unify product + engineering + operations to ship platform outcomes.
• Align delivery with measurable value and unit economics.
• Stand up vendor ecosystems and near‑shore capacity without adding drag.
• Tie bets to the business: instrument adoption, cycle time, quality, and margin improvement so wins compound.

I also run Signal Forge Labs - an independent studio for advisory, rapid prototyping, and fractional/interim CxO (CTO/CPO/COO/CSO) across product, strategy, and AI.

Focus areas

• AI-integrated operating models (workflows & agent orchestration)
• Product + engineering + clinical alignment; architecture for scale
• Patient-first healthtech: activation, care coordination, transitions of care; payer-quality context (STARS/HEDIS) and payer-aligned outcomes
• Operating models, metrics & analytics (cycle time, quality, unit economics): find the signal and tell the story
• Team scaling & leadership cadence
• Cross-functional leadership & vendor ecosystems

Core Competencies

• Cross-Functional Executive Leadership (COO, CTO, CPO)
• Operational Scale & Team Building
• AI & Digital Health Integration
• Strategic Pivots & Business Model Innovation
• Board, Investor, and Executive Stakeholder Engagement
• Growth financing & investor diligence

Healthtech Innovation

I approach innovation as a practical, human-centered discipline, focused on improving the lives of patients, clinicians, and support teams. My work integrating AI and automation into care and operational workflows is rooted in respect for the people doing the work and the individuals we serve.

I apply lean, iterative methods to test and scale AI solutions that augment human ability, not replace it, whether enhancing documentation quality, reducing administrative burden, or helping patients stay engaged and supported at home.

I believe that healthtech innovation should be both ethical and effective, aligning with frontline needs, enabling clarity, and contributing to a system of care that is proactive, personal, and sustainable. I’m motivated by building systems that make care more personal, connected, and reliable, helping patients, clinicians, and staff succeed together.
