About

Academic physician leader focused on quality, value, and leadership in complex systems. My work sits at the intersection of clinical care, organizational performance, and digital transformation—particularly how leaders apply discipline, evidence, and transparency to improve outcomes without chasing hype. I’m especially interested in physician leadership, responsible use of AI in healthcare, and how trust and clarity shape results during periods of change.
