Describe what you do without using the word “product”
My role is to ensure what we build and how we operate is going to solve the real problems faced by Physicians and the technical team through working closely with our partners, customers and key opinion leaders.
Why did you join Lumonus?
I’m passionate about democratizing healthcare. I want my work to ensure technical and cost barriers don’t translate to worse outcomes for patients in Radiation Oncology. It’s a complex industry and sometimes that complexity creates barriers to care. Through technology, I want to break down those barriers.
What is one ingredient that you would say makes a good team?
That’s easy. A group of people that’s emotionally connected to a social mission. That creates culture and from there, great things happen. Is there a new idea, breakthrough, or tech that you’re excited about that’s caught your eye I’m learning more about how we embrace AI in healthcare. It’s a conservative industry for valid reasons. I think we need to embrace AI and learn how it can complement how we work and learn lessons from other industries. I think ignoring it will be a mistake.
What advice would you give to someone interested in the intersection of technology and healthcare?
Understand what problem you’re trying to solve. Technology is great but it has to be operationalized which is always a challenge in Healthcare. You need to listen carefully to problems and find the root cause. Once that’s clear, it’s about how things can be implemented in an analytical way with clear messaging to the clinical teams.
Finish this sentence “One fun or interesting fact about me is that…”
I am obsessed with golf. Outside work and family life, I try to hit the course as much as I can. Any final things you’d like to share? I’m super proud of our group at Lumonus, how we work together and have fun as a team. It’s so important to maintain the right work/family/fun balance and our team does this well. Having a solid foundation means we’re focused on the right things.
