I’m passionate about connecting with others through meaningful discussion. Whether it’s sharing lessons I’ve learned or debating new ideas, I find great joy in engaging with people and providing a fresh perspective to ponder.

What’s most important to me is building real understanding between myself and the audience. I aim to inform in a way that resonates, persuade through relatable examples, and get people actively involved through lively storytelling. My goal is always to make people think, but also to do so in an entertaining and welcoming way.

I love having discussions on panels or giving talks about strategic issues, technological advances, healthcare challenges, and leadership approaches. But most of all, I enjoy exploring topics at the intersection of these fields and opening up a dialogue to exchange views from all sides.

Speaking topics include:
