Bio

Senior Executive with international management experience. I am the Group Chief Strategy Officer and European Managing Director for Virtus Health, a leading international Fertility Services company.


Having prior experience in the UK National Health Service (NHS), Management Consultancy, Private Hospital groups and the armed forces, I am highly skilled in strategic planning, programme execution, operational delivery, business turnaround, business development, and M & A. My knowledge of the application of new technology in both the strategic and operational settings is current and up-to-date, having been educated through the MIT Sloan Executive Education programme.


I have worked in the public, private and regulatory sectors. I have experience across multiple healthcare domains including acute and specialist hospitals, community providers, primary care and healthcare commissioning; providing me with a deep understanding of health systems management. I have a successful track record in the generation of new revenue streams and increasing financial margins.


I am also experienced in multi-site operations across different countries.
