• Coach client clinical leaders through the people-side of the change, drawing on your own experience leading nursing teams through workflow transformation.
• Be visibly accountable to nursing teams for the safety, quality, and humanity of the product.

External Presence & Thought Leadership

• Represent the company at major clinical conferences (e.g., ASA, AANA, AORN, ASPAN, AAACN, AONL).
• Partner with Medical Directors and Chief Clincial Officer to publish, present, and speak on the future of pre-anesthesia optimization, AI in perioperative care, and nursing-led innovation.

How You Work
