About

Technology and AI leader with 20+ years of experience driving large-scale delivery, building high-performing teams, and transforming healthcare and enterprise operations through AI and intelligent automation. I've spent my career doing one thing well: taking ownership of complex, distributed delivery programs and making them work — on time, on budget, and with measurable business impact. Whether it's managing multi-geography engineering teams, owning P&L for delivery programs, or standing up an entirely new practice from zero, I lead from the front. At Genzeon Corporation, currently I lead the AI and Automation Practices . I scaled delivery operations, built the engineering team behind our Health Intelligence Platform, and delivered the Prior Authorization module end-to-end — one of the most complex workflows in US payer-provider operations. I also lead Genzeon's Innovation Lab, driving agentic AI, AI-native QA, and LLM-powered healthcare solutions. Before Genzeon, I led the Automation COE at Legato Health Technologies (Anthem) managing enterprise-wide automation delivery, drove intelligent automation strategy and client engagement at Capgemini, built and delivered automation programs at Wells Fargo, and spent 11+ years at IBM Global Services progressing from development and test roles to Delivery Manager — managing distributed teams, client relationships, and end-to-end project execution across the full SDLC. What I bring to the table: the ability to set up delivery organizations from the ground up, govern complex multi-stakeholder programs, scale teams rapidly, and connect technology strategy to business outcomes.
