It is important to be an effective communicator and
negotiator, one who is able to build strong relationships with the
executive management team, potential strategic partners, staff, and
key players within the industry.
I believe in the strength of character, strength of conviction,
and a commitment to high
standards of integrity.
A leader must be aggressive in achieving results, but sensitive to the need for
communicating effectively with other members of the executive
management team.

MY QUALIFICATIONS
I believe that the successful
Healthcare CIO or eHealth Strategist is a free thinker who has proven
operational and business development experience. My deepest
experience is with the physician marketplace, Managed Care, HMO's and
healthcare insurance, and eHealth product and service providers for
all areas of healthcare. I am also very familiar with the
pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry. I
have a strong command of the information systems environment,
including knowledge of the major players, business models and an
expertise with emerging technologies. I consider myself to have the ability to thrive in a
fast-paced entrepreneurial environment where there are high
performance expectations.
My
greatest interest is in strategic and tactical business development, with an emphasis on new service offerings/introduction,
strategic deals, competitive analysis, pricing policies and
product /service definition.
I continue to work
on my
analytical and business deal making skills, being able to look at new
opportunities, find the hidden issues during due diligence, then making
recommendations for bringing the transaction to a successful closure.
I am always
conscious of my interpersonal skills and seek to foster a positive team-oriented working environment.
