My Style of Working

﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌

My style of working is hands-on and grounded in operational experience. I am an operator at heart, not a traditional consultant. My career was built in the trenches, through making thousands of sales calls and spending countless days in hospitals and procedure suites. I’ve worked closely with leadership teams, not just in the office, but in manufacturing and distribution facilities and in the field, treating each business as if it were my own. I will act as an extension of your team in the areas where you want help. My philosophy is to keep things simple for effective execution, focusing on the critical few initiatives that will truly drive a difference. This practical, results-oriented mindset ensures that strategies are not only well conceived but also delivered with impact. Let’s Collaborate for Your Future. The medical device industry doesn’t stand still, and neither should you. Partner with a seasoned leader who can guide your company through its next phase of growth. Let’s work together to turn challenges into opportunities and aspirations into realities.
