Strategy is abundant. Execution is rare. I've spent 23 years inside one enterprise as it scaled from $13B to $270B — turning complex transformation programs into measurable, sustained results.
The Operator. I built my entire career inside one enterprise — Express Scripts, then Cigna Group — as it scaled from a $13B PBM into a $270B integrated health services company. That means I've lived through the hard parts: the acquisitions, the integrations, the modernizations, and the operating model changes that come with growth under pressure.
The Translator. What I do best is the translation layer between strategy and execution. I take enterprise ambitions — platforms to modernize, costs to reduce, global capabilities to build — and turn them into funded, governed, measurable programs that actually land. I protect the operational core while moving the business forward.
The Builder. I've overseen $1B+ in technology investment, governed portfolios of $300–500M with outcome-based funding, launched a 300-person Global Capability Center in India in under 8 months, and driven $50M+ in annual run-rate savings through data, AI, and operating model transformation. These weren't one-time events — they were sustained delivery programs inside complex, matrixed organizations.
I thrive in VP-level roles with enterprise-wide scope — spanning product, platform, portfolio, and delivery — especially in capital-backed platforms and complex regulated organizations navigating real change.

The scope of leadership I've owned across 23 years inside one of healthcare's most complex enterprises — from platform engineering to $1B+ portfolio governance.
Accountable for repeated waves of platform rationalization, system integration, and operating model redesign inside regulated enterprise environments — while sustaining operational continuity throughout.

Accountable for standing up a 300+ person Global Capability Center in Hyderabad in under 8 months — including site selection, hiring, governance, and integration into enterprise delivery systems.
Accountable for $300M–$500M technology portfolios governed with outcome-based funding — directly connecting investment allocation to P&L results and executive-level accountability.
Accountable for building and institutionalizing integrated operating models across business, product, and engineering — with the OKRs, governance cadences, and execution discipline to make them endure.
Accountable for building high-performing organizations in distributed, matrixed environments — including succession planning, capability development, and workforce strategies that scale globally.
A continuous career inside one enterprise, navigating every wave of growth, integration, and reinvention — from software engineer to enterprise executive.
Every number below reflects sustained delivery inside a real, complex enterprise — not a consulting engagement, but ownership of the outcome.

I'm selectively engaged in conversations with enterprise leaders, executive search professionals, and organizations navigating meaningful transformation. If you're looking for someone who can own an enterprise mandate — not just advise on one — I'd welcome the conversation.
