How

Fractional & Interim CPO, CTO, Chief AI Officer, Chief Transformation Officer.

I engage as Advisor, Operator, Fractional CXO, or Interim, starting with a 2–4 week problem framing engagement. Priced by role and cadence, not hours. In the trenches with you, for healthcare and mission-driven organizations. Book a free intro call.

AI & company / product & commercial strategy

North star to a roadmap a team can ship, product-market fit, pricing and packaging across B2B2C, B2B, and B2C, operating-model design and interim leadership — with AI as a lever where it earns its place.

AI in the product & product-development transformation

AI in the product and across the build, off the shelf or tailored. Vendor and model evaluation and deployment in regulated settings. We also offer a proprietary AI orchestration and context-management system (z-os.ai).

Scaling and growth with AI

Margins and unit economics, R&D turnarounds, hiring and growing teams across countries and cultures — with AI compounding the work.

Frame · Validate · Engineer · Execute.

The same four steps in a problem framing engagement or a full engagement: from the real problem, to what’s true and worth doing, to a plan engineered to ship, to realistic execution — together or alone.

Framing starts in the initial call and the first engagement; full validation runs beyond the 2–4 weeks; execution is typically month 2–3–4.

01

Frame

Start from the real problem, not a tool. Get crisp on what “the right thing” actually is.

02

Validate

Test against reality: what’s true, what’s broken, what’s worth doing.

03

Engineer

A tailored plan engineered to ship, built from experience and owned by your team — not a slide deck.

04

Execute

Realistic execution, together or alone. Your call, your pace.

Healthcare

The whole stack, shipped.

Fifteen years building every layer of healthcare delivery, end to end. Each layer below is a repeatable playbook: a standard project with a known shape, run before, priced by playbook rather than hours.

Patient experience & onboarding

Onboarding and activation, async and sync care models, retention and engagement.

EHR, clinical operations & credentialing

Medplum, Elation, or custom; credentialing, provider data & directories; workflows built around the clinic, not the vendor.

AI-enabled practice

Medical records

Retrieval and aggregation via Metriport or Zus, inside the clinical workflow.

Prescribing, prior auth & labs

E-prescribing via Photon, DoseSpot, Surescripts; pharmacy routing; labs via Junction, Quest.

Billing, claims, RCM & TPA operations

Custom and insurance billing, RCM; claims adjudication in house and third party.

Care programs

GLP-1 and weight management, coaching, dietitian services, with unit economics that hold.

Population health & value-based care

Engagement at payer scale, measurement, contracting readiness.

Plan & benefits design

Self-funded and level-funded, single and multi-payer, tiered networks, plan design.

Writing & online presence

Where I think out loud.

Writing is thinking. If I can’t explain it simply, I haven’t thought hard enough.
