Executive Healthcare Operations Leader specializing in AI-enabled value-based care

Dallas–Fort Worth, TX19y exp

“Operations leader with deep healthcare delivery experience who joined a struggling VC-backed company and helped architect a full strategic pivot away from a fragmented home care LTSS agency model into a scalable chronic care telehealth/value-based care platform. Designed the end-to-end virtual care operating model (clinical team structure, triage/escalation workflows, EHR/RCM/call center ops) and rebuilt performance management around leading indicators to help leadership steer scaling decisions.”

“Early-stage operator brought in as hire #1 in a VP/president capacity to build a franchised business from two studios into a scaled support organization (including franchisee onboarding, call center, and a 60-person support staff). Implemented EOS and KPI dashboarding to accelerate speed-to-open and speed-to-profitability, then replicated the playbook as president of an acquired boxing brand while building accounting and ops teams from scratch.”

Executive Business Leader specializing in operations, growth strategy, and value creation

Lexington, NC32y exp

“Operator/CIO-type leader who has supported multiple founding teams and stepped in early at a high-growth venture (4th employee) to build core operations and hiring as the company scaled rapidly (4→40 employees; ~$1M→~$8M revenue in a year). Implemented an enterprise ATS across ~600 employees to centralize candidate flow and cut talent acquisition costs, and created a standardized operational playbook (30–40 offerings) to improve delivery efficiency in a healthcare/pharma-focused agency.”

“Engineering/technology leader with experience tying roadmaps to OKRs/KPIs, scaling cross-functional engineering teams, and driving go-to-market execution for Managed IT Services revenue growth. In an early-stage company setting, personally stood up core systems (CRM, lead gen, website) and multi-cloud infrastructure (GCP/AWS) while building investor materials (pitch deck, VDR, financials), resulting in an investor LOI within 8 months. Also led an on-prem deployment architecture redesign for a network monitoring (NPM) product to improve compatibility, scalability, and security.”

“Candidate is developing a plan to consolidate paving maintenance businesses into a nationwide residential brand centered on high quality and sustainability. They bring private equity and strategic partnership experience, plus direct segment knowledge and industry relationships, with a thesis around recycling materials without sacrificing quality or cost.”

“Candidate participated in Launch Factory's venture studio selection process, which introduced them to a formalized startup methodology, and then went on to found and recently exit their own business. They are highly motivated to keep building companies, with a clear emphasis on creating products that serve a community and validating market need through product-market fit.”
