Where I Focus

AI That Reaches the Clinic

I led the Novartis-IBM Watson alliance to build EMR-based clinical-trial matching with the Mayo Clinic, and Highlands Oncology Network— the work behind a 2020 JCO Clinical Cancer Informatics paper on Artificial Intelligence based study eligibility screening. I’ve been putting AI to work in regulated healthcare since well before it made headlines.

Medical & Lifecycle Strategy at Scale

At Pfizer, I lead the Portfolio Solution build for medical planning and impact;  the governance models, decision frameworks, and enterprise strategy that align Global and US Medical Affairs around what matters most for patients - closing care gaps.

Digital Transformation with a Mandate

I've led Global Clinical Development Data and Digital Transformation at Novartis and Oncology Digital Transformation strategy and roadmaps at Eisai - standing up the Executive Steering Committees and cross-functional workstreams spanning data, AI, and user-centric process change.
