Orthopedic physician and serial builder. I turn clinical insight into commercial healthcare systems — most recently, bringing personalized surgery to the U.S.

Head of US Sales & Business Development, custoMED

Building the U.S. commercial engine for custoMED (customed.ai) — the AI operating system for personalized surgery: a scan becomes a patient-specific plan, guide, and implant in minutes. Also co-founder of Parvizi Surgical Innovation with Dr. Javad Parvizi, and founder of the SolvingHealth ecosystem below.

Five exits across value-based care, population health, medical devices, and digital health — as founder/operator, not spectator. I build the category, the system, and the commercial motion, and I sell it physician-to-physician.

The thesis I build on

Prediction is a commodity; the act is the moat. In musculoskeletal care, personalization only wins when it's tied to a measured, value-based outcome — so I build the whole episode: personalize the surgery, measure the function, get paid on the value, and let AI run the operational efficiency. That's the future of MSK care, and it's what I'm assembling.

Let's talk
