I am a Business Development Executive at armand-co, a leading healthcare technology company, and a Limited Partner at several startups in the health and wellness sector. I have over 25 years of experience in the healthcare industry, ranging from acquiring and developing primary care, specialty medicine, and dental practices and centers in underserved markets in Houston, to running a $50 million plus bootstrapped business that provides digital solutions and tools for healthcare engagement and personalization. My passion is to use technology to raise the bar for health and well-being in a manner that is accessible to all, and to break the cycle of poverty through education and diversity. I have completed or am pursuing executive education programs from prestigious institutions, such as MIT, Harvard, Stanford, and Columbia, in the fields of digital transformation, artificial intelligence, supply chain management, and healthcare innovation and economics. I leverage my skills and expertise in business relations, business administration, growth strategies, digital healthcare, telemedicine, artificial intelligence, user experience, innovation, and risk-taking to create value for armand-co, our partners, and our customers. I also learn every day by talking to founders and investing in startups that share my vision and mission.
