Biography

Built on decades of experience leading high-stakes environments.

Built on decades of experience leading high-stakes clinical, academic, and health system environments, where decisions affect lives, outcomes, and institutions.

Across decades of clinical, academic, and global health leadership, he has observed a recurring pattern: technically excellent practitioners who arrive at the threshold of leadership without the curriculum required to cross it.

Through The Missing Curriculum™, he seeks to equip professionals with the knowledge, principles, and frameworks needed to lead with purpose and integrity, within their fields, and across them.


Mission

To make explicit what every profession assumes, and to give the next generation a curriculum equal to the work they will be asked to do.
