Instructor in Health Policy and Management, Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health

I am an executive coach and organizational consultant and certified in Coaching for Leadership & Professional Development by the Tavistock Institute of Human Relations. My practice builds on what I have learned, and the questions that made me curious, over a long career in leadership roles in important institutions in public service, the private sector, and for the past 20 years, academic medicine, healthcare and higher education. These roles include Chief Operating Officer and Interim Chief Executive Officer of the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (a teaching hospital of Harvard Medical School), Executive Dean for Administration at Harvard Medical School and Deputy Provost for Administration at Harvard University, and Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of a large private multi-specialty group medical practice. In addition to my private coaching and consulting practice, I am currently an Instructor in Health Policy and Management at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, an Associate Faculty member of Ariadne Labs, and on the Advisory Board of the OpenNotes Initiative.
