I help health leaders close the gap between what a system promises and what people
actually experience.
15 years at the intersection of health strategy, design, and operations —
from COVAX to community clinics.
POINT OF VIEW
AI in health will move faster than health systems can absorb it. The failures won't be technical. They'll be human, contextual, and entirely predictable to anyone who has actually worked in these systems. I know where those gaps are — and how to close them before they cause harm.
Right now, the gap is opening fastest where AI meets health systems.
HOW I WORK
Connecting the stakeholders others can't align
Making the invisible visible
Building things that outlast the engagement
Ministries, funders, local innovators, frontline workers. I've coordinated across 90+ countries and three UN agencies.
Ethnographic research, community fieldwork, behavioral insight. I surface what data misses and translate it
into decisions.
Not recommendations that sit in a deck — tools, programs, and capabilities that keep working after
I leave.
WORK
Operations
COVID-19 vaccine rollout — COVAX / WHO, UNICEF & Gavi
Directed the PMO coordinating vaccine delivery across 90+ low- and middle-income countries, working directly with national governments to remove bottlenecks and accelerate vaccination targets at a moment when weeks mattered.
At peak rollout, operational decisions made on Monday had consequences
by Friday.
Design
Ebola PPE redesign — Liberia, Guinea & Sierra Leone
Led design and field-testing of personal protective equipment with frontline health workers during the West Africa outbreak. User feedback from the people wearing the gear drove a safer, more functional generation of PPE.
The people most at risk had never been asked. We asked.
AI in Health
Qualitative AI tool — Ethiopia, Kenya & Nigeria
Built the most comprehensive qualitative dataset of its kind across Ethiopia, Kenya, and Nigeria — designed to extrapolate to population level — then put an AI chatbot on top of it so decision-makers could ask questions and get answers grounded in what communities had actually said.
The insight was always there. We built the infrastructure to make it count.
