About

As a Senior Fellow for Innovation, my proof-of-concept journey has been transformational; culminating as the Director’s Pick for Shark Tank. I am now equipped with critical learnings to scale my innovation. Currently, I direct multiple clinical drug trial operations as P.I. Administrator. I am a book editor/author for the Digital Healthcare Technology, Institution of Engineering and Technology, UK and I serve in the Advisory Board of the International Health, Wellness & Society Network.
I held leadership positions in Million Veteran Program and NIH’s Precision Medicine Initiative. I was a scientific reviewer of Stanford Medicine X, a premier initiative exploring how emerging/novel technologies advance the practice of medicine.
Each role equipped me with the indispensable acumen to navigate any status quo that is often resistant to transformations or novel ideas.
