An accomplished hospital executive with over a decade of international experience in leading healthcare organizations, I bring a robust background in operations management, data-driven decision-making, and digital health innovation. As a Fellow of the American College of Healthcare Executives and an active member of the Canadian College of Health Leaders, I possess US qualifications and have a proven track record of delivering operational excellence. Over the past 8 years, I have excelled in leading cross-functional teams and executing complex capital projects, including the development of a greenfield hospital and securing multiple accreditations. My expertise lies in leveraging data to drive performance improvements, solving complex operational challenges, and managing digital health initiatives. I am eager to apply my leadership in operations, problem-solving, and team management to drive growth, innovation, and efficiency in healthcare management or consulting roles.
