about

I started my career cutting open hearts.

Then I spent over 10 years fixing something harder: organisations that needed to transform and couldn’t move fast enough. I made them move.

Now I’m focused on the space that genuinely excites me — health moving from the hospital to the consumer. People aren’t waiting for the system anymore. They’re buying Oura rings, booking longevity retreats, tracking their data in real time.

My edge is specific: I understand how the body actually works, how organisations actually fail, and how to move fast without losing precision.

What I bring

The intersection nobody else occupies.

Cardiac Surgery. Strategy consulting. Operational P&L. Most executives have one of these. A few have two. I’ve built all three — in different industries, different continents, under real pressure.

Clinical Intelligence

I understand how the body actually works. That's not a metaphor — it's over 10 years operating on an open heart that informs every health decision I make.

Operational Scale

As MD Middle East I ran P&L, built teams, and delivered in markets most executives never operate in.

Commercial Strategy

Deloitte and Roland Berger trained. I build strategies that are rigorous enough to present to a board and practical enough to actually execute.

Behaviour Change

Consumer health lives or dies on behaviour. I understand the science and the commercial application.
