Overview
I believe that the most powerful innovations are those built on a foundation of absolute integrity. My 13-year career—spanning pediatric oncology research, global edtech, and biotech—has been an exercise in architecting the institutional trust required for frontier technologies to flourish. I specialize in building the high-fidelity systems that allow elite clinical and academic teams to scale without compromising their core mission. My professional identity is defined by three core pillars: First, as an institutional adoption architect. I serve as a trusted partner to cross-functional lead

I believe that the most powerful innovations are those built on a foundation of absolute integrity. My 13-year career—spanning pediatric oncology research, global edtech, and biotech—has been an exercise in architecting the institutional trust required for frontier technologies to flourish. I specialize in building the high-fidelity systems that allow elite clinical and academic teams to scale without compromising their core mission. My professional identity is defined by three core pillars: First, as an institutional adoption architect. I serve as a trusted partner to cross-functional leaders, translating abstract product capabilities into scalable operational playbooks. I don't just solve for initial deployment; I optimize the entire ecosystem—people, process, and culture—to ensure long-term, sustainable behavior change and account health. Second, as a frontier specialist. I navigate the "new" in highly regulated, high-stakes industries where data integrity, safety, and scientific clarity are non-negotiable. Whether managing multi-year procurement at Wharton and Cambridge or translating complex microbiome science for risk-averse clinicians, I bridge the gap between cutting-edge capability and institutional trust. Third, with asynchronous global fluency. I bring a global perspective to every partnership, having managed multi-stakeholder complexity across four continents. I thrive in high-collaboration environments where "the work" meets high-integrity stewardship. Currently at SFI Health, I drive the adoption of specialized clinical solutions through KOL orchestration and data-driven enablement. I am a builder by instinct and a strategist by design, most at home where innovation meets accountability. If you are architecting the future of principled, high-fidelity ecosystems—I would love to connect.
