Speaking & Media
Leadership, equity, and innovation at a critical moment in healthcare
Keynotes and commentary that bring clarity, accountability, and action to complex healthcare systems.
Overview Narrative
Healthcare is at an inflection point. Innovation is accelerating, trust is fragile, and inequities are widening at the same moment technology promises scale. This moment does not require louder opinions. It requires leaders who can make sense of complexity, name what others avoid, and translate urgency into responsible action.
My work and my voice live at the intersection of strategy, equity, technology, and human leadership.
I speak from lived experience as a frontline clinician, physician executive, board leader, and builder of real-world healthcare systems. I have led through crisis, governed through uncertainty, and made decisions where policy, technology, incentives, and culture collide with patient care. That vantage point allows conversations to move beyond inspiration into responsibility.
What distinguishes my perspective is integration. I connect equity with execution, innovation with accountability, and strategy with the human consequences of getting it wrong. Audiences leave with sharper questions, clearer accountability, and a renewed sense of what leadership demands now.
Signature Keynote Topics
Equity by Design, Not Intention
⚖️
Health equity does not fail because of lack of commitment. It fails because systems are built without accountability for outcomes. This keynote explores how leaders embed equity into governance, incentives, workflows, and measurement so results change by design, not aspiration.
The Physician Executive Advantage
🩺
Clinical judgment is not a soft skill. It is a strategic asset. This talk reframes the physician leader as an enterprise integrator who understands risk, human behavior, and system failure before the data catches up.
Innovation Without Harm
🤖
Technology amplifies the values already present in a system. This keynote examines how AI, automation, and digital health can either scale equity or deepen harm, and what responsible leadership looks like during moments of rapid adoption.
Bias in Healthcare AI Is a Leadership Problem
🧠
Bias is not just a data issue. It is a governance failure. This session clarifies what executives and boards must own when algorithms influence access, diagnosis, and care decisions.
Value-Based Care Is a Leadership Strategy, Not a Payment Model
📊
Organizations struggle with value-based care when they treat it as a contract problem instead of a leadership challenge. This keynote focuses on culture, alignment, and operating discipline as the real drivers of sustainable success.
What Boards Should Really Be Asking About Quality, Risk, and Equity
🧾
Dashboards often hide more risk than they reveal. This session equips boards with sharper questions and a governance mindset needed to oversee quality, innovation, and long-term value responsibly.
Leading Through Uncertainty Without Losing Your People
🌊
When stability is unavailable, leadership still matters. This keynote focuses on clarity, trust, and execution through people during sustained disruption and organizational change.
The Leader as Catalyst
🔑
Transformation does not come from plans alone. It comes from leaders who activate others. This talk reframes leadership as influence, alignment, and courage in action.
