HealthIMPACT
Where healthcare leaders decide what to scale next.
I co-founded HealthIMPACT with Purpose Events and have chaired it since 2013. It's the no-PowerPoint, no-BS forum where providers, payers, pharma, and patients get in one room and work through what actually gets implemented, not what gets pitched.
I anchor the event on stage for its full run, owning the program end to end, keeping the energy, pacing, and narrative on track from the opening keynote to the closing panel. Purpose Events recruits the operators and speakers; my job is to make the program land: I weave their expertise together with what the audience came to learn, bridge the gaps between speakers, and translate hard technical content into decisions the room can act on. Fifty-plus forums in more than a dozen cities, with recent editions at Microsoft Times Square in New York.

I've spent three decades on conference stages, keynote platforms, and in boardrooms explaining hard technology to people who have to make decisions about it (clinicians, federal program leaders, boards, and engineering organizations). I don't just take the stage; I build the program, having chaired 50+ HealthIMPACT forums and moderated 200+ C-suite panels.
That includes the TEDx and TEDMED stages, HIMSS keynotes, and board-level briefings for regulated programs.
