About me
Real-World Experience. Practical Lessons. Learning You Can Apply.
My goal is simple: help you understand complex topics, see why they matter, and apply what you've learned in your career. My courses emphasize practical explanations, real-world examples, and lessons drawn from decades of experience in healthcare, technology, business strategy, and leadership—not unnecessary theory or complexity.
With more than 64,000 online course enrollments across over 60 countries and an average student rating of approximately 4.5 stars, my courses have attracted learners worldwide who value practical, experience-based education.
I spent 28 years with Philips Healthcare, advancing from engineering to Vice President of Marketing. During that time, I led major product initiatives, launched new businesses, and received the Philips Presidential Award for creating a business unit that tripled sales in just 18 months. I later served as President of Sectra Healthcare North America, leading a successful organizational turnaround.
For more than 20 years, I've also taught graduate-level courses in MBA and healthcare management programs at the University of New Haven and the University of Washington. Over that time, my university teaching has accounted for more than 1,000 graduate-level student enrollments, and my teaching has been recognized with university teaching awards.
What Makes My Courses Different?
I bring firsthand experience into the classroom. Whether we're exploring artificial intelligence, healthcare informatics, leadership, career development, or business strategy, I connect the fundamentals to situations professionals actually encounter.
Many of my lessons come from experiences throughout my career—the successes, challenges, unexpected problems, and decisions that taught me some of my most valuable lessons.
I believe effective learning should be clear, engaging, and immediately useful. You shouldn't just finish a course knowing more—you should leave better prepared to put that knowledge to work.
I hold a BS in Electrical Engineering from Drexel University and an MS in Engineering from the University of Florida.
