Description
Motivated, personable medical professional with an MBA and a powerful track record of academic and business successes ranging from starting companies to serving in highly-visible and executive roles in multi-million dollar, publicly traded corporations. Highly popular and effective team player. Able to connect with almost anyone quickly. Accustomed to developing solutions, often under time constraints. As a physician with an MBA and personality, I have utilized my skills to practice medicine, start medical IT companies, sell medical software, manage physicians and pharmacists, perform at the executive level, and apply IT skills to help clients optimize the performance of multimillion dollar healthcare information systems. My primary goal now is to become a local hospital or healthcare institution Chief Medical Information Officer, although other roles may be intriguing.
