Healthcare is built on trust; it is a community and culture of people working together to provide the best outcomes for patients who need help. Cybersecurity, unfortunately, is the opposite and demands that every individual question every interaction. At heart, I am an infrastructure person. I like building things that empower others, and I want to build technologies that shield healthcare from bad actors, that practitioners and patients can rely on, and that preserve and restore trust across the healthcare ecosystem.
