- Leading complex and dynamic collaborations between the Data Science and Growth teams.
- Helping us refine the competitiveness of our value-based care contracts.
- Ensuring quality and availability of various data sources.

- Eloquent communicator who can communicate deep technical nuance to internal teams while up-leveling understanding for lay audiences.
- Relish synthesizing the complexity of the healthcare/financial ecosystem into actionable insights that provide value to providers.
- A proven mentor who fosters a culture of technical rigor and mentors more junior team members.
