Behavioral health · Growth leadership · Applied AI

I lead growth in behavioral health.

My experience runs from field business development to national BD leadership and CMO responsibility for a 600-plus bed treatment portfolio. I connect referral development, marketing and admissions. I build the systems that help those teams make better decisions.

From the field to the numbers. And back.

I connect what happens in the field to what shows up in the numbers. That understanding shapes where I put people, budget and technology, and how I judge whether the changes are working.

Field BD → National leadership · 60-plus organization

Referral development

I selected BD leaders, set market coverage and deployed incentive compensation. Weekly director check-ins and facility planning connected the plan to the work.

Portfolio CMO · 600-plus beds

Marketing and admissions

I simplified pre-screens, used call-volume reports to guide staffing and held vendors accountable through recurring KPI and call-quality reviews.

Systems and applied AI

I deployed Claude into a multi-state treatment operator under HIPAA, built the agents that run my own agency, and designed an admissions attribution layer. The work below shows the workflow, validation and limits of each.

Selected work

Growth has to survive the transition.

The pro forma assumes demand arrives. The asset schedule needs to explain how. My acquisition and integration work looks at the accounts, relationships and operating knowledge that have to survive close.

A channel report is a starting point. It does not settle where the next dollar belongs. Read the essay on what drives admissions.

How I lead

I start with the business result we need to deliver and work backward. I assess the gap between that result and the people, processes, data and systems in place, then turn it into a roadmap with clear ownership and measurable objectives.

Alignment means every leader understands how the plan works as a whole: what their team must deliver, what it needs from other departments, and what those departments need in return. Hitting a departmental number means little if the business still misses its target.

Then we execute through clear directives, visible progress, weekly accountability and problems addressed as they emerge. When performance falls short, I make the gap visible and change the work behind it. I don’t redefine success to make a miss disappear.
