Throughout my career in consulting, I was driven by two primary goals, to increase market share and to make the work environment the best place to build a career for all around me. Now I am excited to be able to use my decades of experience, connections, and marketplace knowledge to assist companies that are working to increase their market share.
The Los Angeles Business Journal honored me with being one of the 500 Most Influential Business People in Los Angeles in 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022.

I am excited to work with mission-driven organizations and people who desire to transform the status quo of healthcare. I've learned much after 40+ years consulting, advising and strategizing to transform employer-sponsored health care. I've worked with organizations as diverse as a budding start-up to Fortune 100 corporations. Relationships are primary - everything else is derivative.
