VP Development

U.S. Benefits Plus
(3 years 7 months)

USB was focused on bringing diverse benefits to employers, employees and merchants using the power of the Internet. We developed applications and web sites to support our constituents.

CEO

Lone Star Open MRI
(3 years)

Open MRI technology has a unique demographic of interest… claustrophobic patients, obese patients and pediatric patients were key opportunities. Marketing to physicians was our focus.

VP

Medibuy.com

Healthcare Supply chain management in the digital age was our focus. MediBuy was an initial attempt to bring the power of the Internet to purchasing and logistics.

SVP

Novation
 
(less than a year)

The newly formed Novation is the Group Purchasing Organization for VHA and UHC. Formative actions, applying Fortune 100 techniques were top of the list as Novation took its first steps as a free standing organization.

VP Sales & Marketing

Innoserv
 
(2 years)

InnoServ was at first a client. This independent service organization in medical imaging and biomed engineering was in evolving and needed new sales and marketing leadership. I brought my Fortune 100 experience (AHSC & Baxter) to play. InnoServ was sold to GE soon after my departure.

Executive Healthcare Consultant

CareMark had a broad range of benefits to bring to customers. The consultative sales approach allowed customized development of programs for hospitals, groups and physicians in areas of PBM, home care and drug fulfillment.

Senior Healthcare Consultant

Baxter Healthcare

All customers are created equal but some are more equal than others. The SHC position was empowered to bring the knowledge, experience and resources of a Fortune 100 company to our "more equal" customers.

Regional Manager

American Hospital Supply

AHS/Dietary Division in Houston was a growing part of the company leading South West Area. I had P&L responsibility for this location.
