Senior Executive | COO | Transformation / Turnaround | 20+ Years Senior Leadership

About Me

With 20+ years leading large-scale transformation in healthcare and manufacturing, I bring fractional COO expertise to organizations that need senior operational leadership without a full-time commitment. My work centers on turning around underperforming operations, building the systems that let organizations scale, and developing the leadership cultures that make results stick. I've led teams through rapid growth, M&A integration, compliance overhauls, and engagement turnarounds across multi-site, multi-state environments with complex regulatory requirements, distributed workforces, and federated governance structures. Through my advisory practice, Progress on Purpose, I work with mission-driven organizations to bring together operational maturity that delivers meaningful impact. If your operations are outpacing your infrastructure, your culture is lagging your strategy, or maybe you need clarity, trust, and a steady hand, that's where I do my best work.
