Healthcare CFO Leadership Backed by 20 Years of Health System Operations

Results Across Health Systems and Physician Networks

01

$10M Saved Across a Managed-Care Market

A California managed-care market generated $10M in savings through payor contract renegotiations, referral leakage control, and drug spend management.
02

PE-Backed Hospital System Operating Improvements

Across seven hospitals and $700M in P&L, receivables were cut 5% in 90 days by overhauling profitability and operational performance reporting, alongside system-wide EBITDA improvement from premium labor, length of stay, admissions, payor mix, and high-cost drug and implant spend.
03

$7M Receivables Discrepancy Resolved at a Physician Network

A $100M ambulatory physician network generated over $1M in operational EBITDA through premium labor reduction, clinic volume growth, and renegotiated compensation, while tracing and resolving a $7M net receivables discrepancy following a failed system migration.
