HealthFitness CEO and leadership

As an experienced cross-discipline leader, creative thinker, and persuasive storyteller, I've built partnerships, rapidly grown sales teams, and expanded revenue for organizations ranging from nimble VC-backed growth companies (like Grand Rounds, Omada Health, and BridgeHealth) to Fortune 500 enterprises (like Optum Health, Pfizer, and Marsh/Mercer). I'm the founder of Spoke Advisory, a business development consultancy that leads growth-focused change for healthcare companies and investors through strategic investigation and spirited conversation. I am currently the Chief Sales Officer of HealthFitness, whose mission is to improve the health and well-being of the people we serve.
