Why are you passionate about health and wellness?

My passion has mirrored my 25 years experience in health. I’m extremely passionate about virology and especially HIV medicine where I spent 8 years as the Global Commercial Lead responsible for launching both drugs around the world. I feel strongly about improving the lives of patients and their caregivers and about bringing health solutions that address issues and unmet needs to the market. Much of my career has been focused on launching wellness strategies and wellness programs to the market as part of the launches of cardiovascular drugs, respiratory drugs, neurologic drugs, antibiotics and HIV meds that have saved lives and improved the quality of life for countless patients.

What excites you about technology and its role in healthcare?

I’m excited about interactive technology that expands and improves the types of needed health information that can reach patients today and tomorrow. I’m also excited about helping health companies provide relevant health information to needy caregivers and family members, and to be part of a company that helps health companies improve the quality of life of patients world wide.

What are your passions outside of work?

My wife and two daughters, sports (hockey and golf), fitness (gym, running, biking), friendships, and reading.
