Bio

As a leader in the healthcare space, I propel emerging businesses toward exponential growth and market leadership. Along with a combination of passion and persistence, I bring a good dose of grit, humor, and humility. I direct multimillion-dollar funding rounds, participate in M&A transactions, and transform corporate cultures into “Best Places to Work” for organizations from pre-IPO to Fortune 500. How patients experience healthcare today is entirely different than 50, 25, five, or even two years ago. The healthcare space is shifting daily. As a respected leader at the forefront of this shift, I position my companies to be pioneers in their sectors through innovation, invention, and collaboration. 𝗖𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗡𝗶𝗻𝗷𝗮 As the current President of Thirty Madison, a premier healthcare company for 750K+ people living with chronic conditions, I created an environment that celebrates diversity and extols creativity. We’ve experienced a season of exponential growth, with our employee headcount expanding from 50 to 700 employees. My reputation as a “culture ninja” was solidified when we won Fortune’s “Best Workplaces in New York” #17 (Small & Medium), “Best Places to Work in Healthcare,” and Forbes’ “America’s Best Startup Employers,” all in 2022. 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗰 𝗜𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿 Innovation is all about solving unsolvable problems—and everything is worth solving in healthcare. As a natural learner and curious leader, I inspire my teams to explore new ways to approach healthcare that transforms patients’ lives through digital health solutions, new pharma product launches, or new diagnostics. 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗰 & 𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿 I am equally adept at overseeing initiative execution in thousand-person BUs with multibillion-dollar P&Ls and devising big-picture global strategies. In addition, I influence and understand broad groups of healthcare stakeholders, from on-the-ground operators to senior leaders to the Board Directors at global organizations.
