What moves you?

As I move through life and my career, I’ve come to know myself as many things. Most of these can be summed up in my personal mission statement:

I work strategically to help people everywhere live their best, healthiest, most well lives.

Quite a loaded statement right? I’ll explain.

My life as a healthcare professional started early in life from a realization that our societies have glaring inequity everywhere, but in the words of Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr – “Of all the forms of inequality, injustice in healthcare is the most shocking and inhumane.” I deeply agreed back then, and sought to chart a career in which I could make impact on health and wellbeing at scale.

Thus, my path as a product leader was born from a desire to hack the way we grant populations access to resources and education to empower themselves.

This is what I do as a Consumer Health expert, Digital Experience Strategist, and Product Leader.

Getting to this point took some creativity along the way – I designed my own unique major in undergrad (that later became the basis for the college’s official Public Health Sociology specialization),ventured into a first of it’s kind Global Sustainable Change initiative for my Master’s capstone, worked with a remarkable team of health professionals to launch one of the first Affordable Care Act digital insurance products that went on to lead it’s markets, and worked my way into digital product leadership through a non-traditional path.

Today, with a career that has spanned a variety of healthcare, consumer goods, and venture capital settings, I specialize in driving creative end-to-end solutions to business challenges, and I'm passionate about leveraging the innovation ecosystem to create products & services that enhance our health, wellness, and vitality while yielding profitable results, dynamic products, and rich brand experiences.

So, in summary…

My passions have expanded over time, but still remain rooted in the same North Star. These days, I define success as:

• making an impact on health + wellbeing globally,

• lending my insight to emerging innovators, and

• connecting members of my community to opportunity.

I’m always down for a conversation about taking consumer products from ideation to launch to scale, brainstorming new solutions to old problems, & dreaming up the next big thing. Let’s talk!
