I have been an active coach of senior executives and high-potential leaders for over 20 years. With several certifications in executive coaching, and as a member of the Institute of Coaching, I maintain a growth mindset through continuing education and supervision.

Prior to building my coaching practice, my career had four distinct phases:

• Most recently, I was a senior vice-president at Optum (part of UnitedHealth Group), responsible for architecting and shaping win-win complex alliances with health systems to help them deliver stronger results on the goals of the quadruple aim in healthcare. 

• Previously, I was President of OptumLabs, a healthcare research and innovation collaborative. At OptumLabs I built over 30 health sector partnerships with large health systems, disease foundations, government agencies, life science companies, and more.

• Before joining Optum, I was a principal at Sigma Partners Venture Capital, investing in early-stage technology companies. 

• Earlier, I was an entrepreneur and startup executive. I co-founded Phase Forward, providing software services for pharmaceutical clinical trials.

Outside work, I am on the board of Seeds of Peace, an organization empowering the next generation of peace builders, with programs in the US, Israel/Palestine, and India/Pakistan.
