About

With over 30 years of experience in the healthcare industry, I am a seasoned and strategic leader who is passionate about improving the lives of healthcare consumers and caregivers. As the Chief Commercial Officer at Connect America, I oversee the sales, and business development functions of the largest independent provider of connective care solutions in North America. I am responsible for driving revenue growth, expanding market share, and enhancing customer satisfaction and loyalty. I leverage my skills in corporate strategy, team building, and process improvement to create and execute innovative and effective commercial plans that align with the company's vision and mission. Previously, I was the Senior Director of National Sales at Medtronic, where I led the sales teams for the US government and commercial markets, and delivered strong results in terms of sales performance, contract wins, and customer retention. I also have extensive experience in the US government sales sector, where I managed the relationships with key federal agencies and stakeholders and secured multiple contracts for Medtronic's medical devices and solutions. I am a collaborative and results-oriented lead
