You know something isn't working.

You're weighing a career move you can't talk about at work?
Clinical and product can't get along?
Your care model works in the pitch deck, but not in the real world?
Sound familiar?

I’m a physician turned product executive. I advise healthcare CEOs, operators, and investors — diagnose the real problem, then build the fix.

About me

The same problems, wearing different costumes.

I'm a primary-care physician who became a product executive, building places worth getting care from my entire career. A thousand iterations later, the fixes work more often than they should. And if we can fix healthcare, we can fix the world.

"I've thrown everything at Andrew — hiring, clinical model, sales strategy, coaching our COOs, white papers, GTM pivots — and he just keeps showing up with the right answer. Most advisors have a thing. Andrew's thing is that he doesn't need a thing. He sees the whole board, tells you what you're missing, and somehow makes it fun to hear."

I'm an advisor to healthtech CEOs, operators, and investors. Sometimes it's one conversation. Sometimes it turns into ongoing advisory. Let's start with thirty minutes and see where it goes.

Diagnose
56 OKRs for 62 people.
That's what I walked into as the new CPO. On day nine, I cut them to four. That quarter, the company hit its goals for the first time ever.
Fix
Physical to virtual in five weeks.
I spent a decade building a primary care model — clinical design, training, technology. When COVID hit, my team took the whole thing virtual, nationwide, in five weeks. The system we built to improve did exactly that.
Diagnose
Fourteen pitches, no framework.
A CEO I advise was drowning in vendor pitches for what was really a build-vs-buy decision. We built the decision framework first — and chose the right vendor in a week.

The call nobody else can take.
First-time firings. Co-founder breakups. Whether to shut down. The board meeting you're dreading. You call on short notice — and hang up with a plan.
