Strategy + Consulting

Turn complex health challenges into practical action.

Turn complex health challenges into practical action.

I help organizations clarify difficult problems, bring together information and people that too often sit apart, and design initiatives that can move forward.

Complex problems rarely need another generic solution.

Complex problems rarely need another generic solution.

They need a clear view of the problem, the right perspectives at the table, and a path that can be carried out.

My work sits at the intersection of healthcare, patient experience, research, data, rare and chronic disease, population health, and organizational strategy.

Clarify what needs to change · Bring together evidence, data, lived experience, and operational realities · Identify priorities · Design a pilot or path forward · Align partners · Build in learning, measurement, and adaptation · Provide experienced leadership through growth or change

Areas of support

Strategy + Initiative Design

Turning broad goals or emerging ideas into a clear problem definition, priorities, outcomes, and path forward.

Pilot Development + Implementation

Designing pilots with clear workflows, partners, measures, decision points, and learning goals.

Patient + Lived-Experience Integration

Ensuring strategies and programs reflect how people experience health, care, access, and decision-making.

Rare + Complex Disease

Supporting work where small populations, fragmented care, specialty expertise, research needs, and patient experience meet.

Research + Data Infrastructure

Helping organizations use clinical, research, registry, patient-reported, and real-world information to support learning and decisions.

Cross-Sector Collaboration

Bringing health systems, nonprofits, advocacy organizations, researchers, funders, and community partners around a shared goal.

Fractional Strategic Leadership

Providing senior-level strategy, synthesis, and execution support without a full-time hire.

Selected experience

Building rare-disease clinical + research infrastructure

Building rare-disease clinical + research infrastructure

Long-term leadership developing clinical, research, registry, and patient-centered infrastructure in primary ciliary dyskinesia and rare disease. The work aligned clinicians, researchers, advocacy organizations, families, data systems, and funders around shared priorities.

Connecting data to earlier understanding

Connecting data to earlier understanding

Work across longitudinal health information, clinical data, research, registries, and emerging analytical approaches to improve understanding and support earlier recognition.

Translating evidence into implementation

Translating evidence into implementation

Designing approaches that move evidence and recommendations into workflows, partnerships, pilots, and measurable progress.

Working across systems

Working across systems

Experience spanning healthcare, public health, nonprofit, advocacy, research, employer, and community settings where progress depends on coordination beyond traditional boundaries.

Start with the actual problem.

Not the assumed solution.

1. Clarify

What are we trying to change? For whom? What is getting in the way?

2. Connect

What evidence, data, lived experience, partners, and constraints need to be considered together?

3. Prioritize

Where are the highest-leverage opportunities?

4. Design

What is realistic enough to implement, test, and learn from?

5. Adapt

What are we learning, and what should change as a result?

Clarify → Connect → Prioritize → Design → Learn

Flexible support depending on the need.

Ways to work together include:

Some engagements are focused and short-term; others provide ongoing support through development, delivery, and learning.

Strategic advisory · Research + landscape synthesis · Initiative + pilot design · Implementation planning · Partnership + stakeholder work · Fractional strategic leadership · Workshops + speaking

I’m often most helpful when:

The problem is important but poorly defined · Different stakeholders see different pieces · There is a lot of information but no clear synthesis · An idea needs to become a realistic pilot or initiative · The challenge crosses organizational or disciplinary boundaries

The same systems-thinking approach that informs my consulting work also shapes the development of Clarity360, an emerging approach designed to help individuals make sense of complex health information and turn it into clearer priorities and action.
