About

I was drawn to healthcare early in my career. While a lot has changed since I started as a pharmaceutical medical representative 30 years ago, I remain inspired everyday by the power of medicine and how new technology, like Artificial Intelligence, is helping advance scientific breakthroughs like never before. As a leader, I firmly believe that making an impact starts with culture - how we empower and motivate each other to be the best version of ourselves. That includes giving people access to cutting edge technologies that push the boundaries of science. Then, with open minds, we can fuel innovation and unleash potential that drives long-term success.
