BUILDING BUSINESSES & INSPIRING ENTREPRENEURS AT THE INTERSECTION OF TECHNOLOGY, HEALTH, AND WELLNESS Transforming Technical Ideas into Business Concepts | Guiding Business Concepts to Operational Realities I help organizations bridge the gap between innovation and execution. Whether you're launching a disruptive start-up, scaling a growth-stage venture, or evolving a complex enterprise, I bring deep cross-industry experience and strategic clarity to help you move forward with confidence. My focus is at the intersection of technology, health, and wellness –where great ideas need structure, insight, and leadership to succeed. Based in Los Angeles for 25 years, I have worked with organizations and entrepreneurs across the country and around the world, connecting people, capital, space, and other resources to move the needle in big and small enterprises. I’ve been called the “Kevin Bacon of Healthcare” due to the breadth and depth of my network, but I am equally comfortable working with businesses in other innovation and creative spaces where I can make a difference. And I love to make a difference. If you're ready to bring structure to ambition – and momentum to your mission – let’s talk. Whether you are trying to map out the next steps for your organization, your product, or your career, I am excited to connect with you.
