Abstract

I am a Medical Doctor with a strong background at the intersection of healthcare, business strategy, and digital innovation, with professional experience across the United States and Latin American healthcare markets.

I work closely with healthcare providers, payers, healthtech startups, and global healthcare organizations to design and execute growth strategies, go-to-market plans, and digital health initiatives. My focus is on translating complex healthcare challenges into scalable solutions that improve operational performance, patient experience, and clinical outcomes.

As a Healthtech Subject Matter Expert, I bring a comprehensive understanding of the healthcare ecosystem—combining medical expertise with strategic business thinking to support product development, market expansion, and the adoption of emerging technologies such as AI in healthcare.

I am particularly passionate about leveraging digital innovation and data-driven technologies to build more connected, patient- and clinician-centric healthcare ecosystems, enabling organizations to transform how care is delivered and experienced.
