What teams usually get in the first phase
If you only read one section, read this one: these are the most common outcomes teams ask me to deliver first.
- Improved telehealth reachability with verified caller ID and trust signals.
- Reduced avoidable escalations after unifying records and redefining success.
- Faster high-risk review cycles with clearer ownership and auditability.
Fit & focus
Fit
Quick fit check
Ship products teams can sell and operate with confidence—especially when the cost of a wrong decision is measured in incidents, audits, and patient or customer harm.
Best fit
- CIO/CTO, product risk, and responsible AI leaders shipping AI workflows in healthcare, fintech, or enterprise SaaS.
- Teams that need operational governance capability—not policy theater—to move forward safely.
- Organizations where compliance, trust, and reliability requirements shape roadmap choices.
Regulated system signals
- Doximity Dialer launch and scale: 100M+ patient–clinician connections with HIPAA-conscious trust design.
- Director-level care experience leadership across Transcarent and City of Hope clinical workflows.
- Governance operations design: decision rights, override authority, escalation clocks, and incident learning loops.
- Venture/operator experience: EIR support, diligence templates, and founder governance rituals for stuck teams.
When this isn’t for you
- Teams looking for a full-time operator or embedded PM hire.
- Situations where decisions must stay vague or political.
- Long retainers without clear decision points.
- Business models that rely on ambiguous claims or dark patterns.

How I partner with teams
A simple working model for high-stakes teams that need clarity fast.

- MarketsHealthcare, fintech, and enterprise teams under regulatory pressure.
- OutcomesClearer ownership, better escalation, and faster recovery.
Operational governance
Define who decides, who escalates, and what gets logged
Set simple decision rights and escalation paths your team can use under pressure.
- Decision rights map for ship, override, halt, rollback, and audit.
- Escalation triggers and handoff rules for on-call and leadership.
Product + compliance alignment
Align product, legal, and risk teams around one plan
Translate constraints into clear roadmap choices and defensible customer messaging.
- Failure-mode mapping tied to user harm and controls.
- Messaging and roadmap checks against regulatory and incident risk.

Outcomes in one line
- Improved telehealth reachability with verified caller ID and trust signals.
- Reduced avoidable escalations after unifying records and redefining success.
- Faster high-risk review cycles with clearer ownership and auditability.
How I protect your team: I don’t name sensitive internal politics, and I never publish identifying details without consent. Metrics stay rounded and de-identified, artifacts are redacted, and access is limited to the stakeholders you choose. Quantified deltas are shared in redacted form when available.
Recommended first case study
Verified caller ID for HIPAA-conscious telehealth
Built trusted caller identity and guardrails so clinicians could reach patients without exposing private numbers.
- Problem: patients ignored unknown numbers, stalling telehealth care.
- Constraints: HIPAA privacy, carrier spoofing rules, and clinician adoption risk.
- Intervention: verified caller ID, clear consent copy, and fallback workflows.
