Leading digital design at Johnson & Johnson MedTech since 2020, I craft systems and experiences that support surgical teams and improve patient care globally.
Over the years, I’ve come to define my leadership philosophy as: Courage over comfort. Service before ambition. I believe being a great human – and role model – has tremendous impact on the people, teams, and communities we interact with, as well as shaping thoughtful and far-reaching products.
