At the Intersection of Technology, Business,
and Healthcare
30+ years building, leading, and teaching-focused on navigating complexity without losing sight of the patient.
CAREER AT THE INTERSECTION
With a foundation in engineering (BSEE, MSE) and early leadership experience as a military officer, my career has taken me from engineering roles at Philips Healthcare to executive leadership, including serving as President of Sectra North America.
Along the way, I’ve worked across technology, business, and healthcare—building products, leading organizations, and navigating real-world complexity.
TEACHING & MENTORING
For over 20 years, I’ve taught in MBA and MHA programs at the University of New Haven and previously at the University of Washington.
I’ve worked with hundreds of graduate students—many already in healthcare—helping them navigate the gap between what they learn and what actually happens.
My focus is simple:
Help students connect theory to reality—so they can make better decisions in complex environments.
BRIDGING THE GAP
Many engineers and clinicians run into the same challenge:
They understand their domain deeply—but struggle with the business side.
And many business professionals struggle to fully understand the clinical and technical realities.
That gap is where most problems—and most opportunities—live.
My work is designed to help navigate that space.
MY APPROACH
Real-world application,
not just theory
Clear, practical
thinking
Navigating complexity
without over-simplifying
A MOMENT THAT KEEPS ME GROUNDED
In addition to teaching, I spend time each week visiting patients in a local hospital.
Those conversations have been some of the most important learning experiences of my career.
They’re a reminder that behind every system, every workflow, and every decision—there’s a person.
The patient experience isn’t a side consideration.
It’s the point.
And often, the most important thing we can do… is listen.
Many of the reflections I write about start with moments like these.
BEYOND THE CLASSROOM
Outside of teaching, I spend time with family, try new recipes in the kitchen, and enjoy fishing along Long Island Sound.
Because even in healthcare—balance matters.
