What I bring to a board
- The customer’s view. I have been the buyer at an academic health system, and I spent 25 years with payers, providers, and life science companies, which is where adoption decisions actually get made.
- AI oversight from practice, not briefings. I run 40+ agents in production, wrote and operate a published AI-use policy, and can interrogate a management team’s AI claims because I have made most of the mistakes myself.
- Risk and security as a lived discipline. I commission independent audits of my own systems, red-team them, and once rebuilt a server from scratch rather than trust a cleaned one, which is the instinct boards call cyber oversight.
- Financial literacy. Wharton’s Advanced Finance Program, an MBA in healthcare strategy, angel investing in the product class, and $40M+ in external funding I helped secure.
- Governance as a credential and a habit. NACD Board Leadership Fellow, a current board seat at the American College of Medical Quality, and a past association presidency; I know the difference between governing and managing.
