Director, Operational Excellence - Lifebridge Health, Northwest Hospital

With a strong background in operational excellence, process improvement, and strategic leadership, I have successfully led transformative initiatives across healthcare organizations, optimizing efficiency, reducing costs, and enhancing patient outcomes. As a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt, I have implemented data-driven methodologies to streamline workflows, improve patient throughput, and foster high-reliability cultures. My expertise in change management, performance improvement, and employee engagement uniquely positions me to offer valuable insights to the NAHQ audience. Having partnered with executive leaders, physicians, and frontline staff, I understand the challenges of driving sustainable improvement in complex healthcare environments. Through my experience leading large-scale Lean transformations and mentoring teams, I have cultivated a results-driven approach that aligns operational excellence with strategic goals. My ability to translate best practices into actionable strategies makes me uniquely qualified to present to NAHQ, equipping attendees with the tools to drive meaningful, measurable change in their organizations.
