      "details": "I'm a passionate thought partner and connector of people, ideas, and opportunities. \r\rI love meeting and working with business and community leaders and change-makers of all types. Helping others navigate complexity and unlock transformative growth is a pure joy for me.\r\rI'm also a patient & caregiver, giving me firsthand experience navigating the complexities of our US healthcare systems. Working with exceptional physicians and care teams, I've learned to advocate, coordinate, and optimize care, not only for me, but for those I support. With over 15 years of lived experience managing specialized and multidisciplinary care -- including oncology, chronic conditions such as Crohn’s disease and diabetes, mental health services, and public health systems -- I am deeply committed to driving patient-centered innovation, ensuring that technology and strategy align with the real needs of patients, caregivers, and providers.\r\rRecently I conducted primary research on Patient Trust in Website Personalization and AI and love sharing those insights and helping healthcare providers and device innovators meet patients where they are. \r\rMy career spans startups, high-growth corporate ventures, and global enterprises, where I have led enterprise-wide digital transformation initiatives and pioneered go-to-market strategies that have shaped modern marketing best practices. From the early adoption of marketing automation and large-scale B2B demand generation webinars to advancing website chat as a service, I have helped businesses leverage technology to connect with customers and accelerate revenue growth.",
