Frame the real problem
I separate the underlying healthcare or product need from the first proposed solution, then define what the work must accomplish.

I turn difficult healthcare and AI questions into product decisions and executable programs. I work across product, engineering, clinical and business teams, while staying close enough to architecture and implementation to know whether a strategy will hold up.

Good decisions require the whole system in view.
I connect clinical needs, product value, data, architecture, security, operations and delivery. That makes trade-offs visible early and gives teams a direction they can act on.
Make trade-offs explicit
I test options against clinical value, technical constraints, risk, operational reality and the effort required to deliver them.
Build clarity across disciplines
I translate between clinical, product, engineering and business perspectives, turning different priorities into a direction teams can execute without hiding technical risk.
Carry decisions into delivery
I follow strategic choices into architecture and implementation, help teams take ownership, and change course when evidence shows the plan will not hold.
Background
From writing healthcare software to improving Dragon Copilot.
I began my career writing healthcare software. I then spent several years working with healthcare organizations across Western Europe, connecting business and clinical priorities with architecture, cloud and data-platform decisions. Today, as a Principal Technical Program Manager in Microsoft Health AI, I work on Dragon Copilot with product, engineering, clinical and business teams in the US and EMEA.
01
Software engineering
Built healthcare software hands-on before moving into cloud architecture, technology strategy and AI products. That engineering foundation still shapes how I test assumptions, architecture and delivery risk.
02
Healthcare strategy and delivery
Worked with healthcare organizations worldwide to shape and deliver cloud and data-platform programs.
03
Health AI
Help shape and deliver Microsoft healthcare AI products, including Healthcare Agent Service and Dragon Copilot, across product, engineering, clinical and business teams.
