About

Enterprise healthcare executive with a foundation in institutional equity research and private market investing, where I identified high-quality growth companies and built technology-focused investment theses for large-scale portfolios. I translated that analytical rigor into digital health strategy and ultimately enterprise Medicaid transformation. As Head of Whole Health and a member of the Medicaid Senior Leadership Team at Elevance Health, I lead integrated care innovation impacting 12M+ members across 25 states, aligning AI-enabled operating models, capital strategy, and enterprise execution to drive scalable government healthcare transformation.
