Twenty years in healthcare technology taught me how to lead through complexity: by scaling AI across 40,000 technologists, building organizations from the ground up, and turning big ideas into viable products. Today, as Chief Information Officer at Aprexis, I lead technology strategy, team growth, security, client partnerships, AI adoption, and operational efficiency. Agentic AI also brought me back to writing code, and it has reminded me of the time I spent writing novels. Then, I created worlds with words. Now, I create apps with code. Two forms of creative output that stretch the imagination and keep me learning. Additionally, I advise the University of San Francisco on AI programs for working professionals and love getting outside whenever I can for birding. There's more below.
