About EverRise Now
EverRise Now is the operating practice I founded in 2023. It is the platform for my leadership work: permanent operating roles, and selectively, embedded and advisory work with CEOs, founders, boards, and PE sponsors.
I run and modernize complex operations in healthcare, technology, and supply chain, and I stay to make them perform.
Former leadership roles: Salesforce | NTT DATA | Cigna Healthcare | Supply Chain & Logistics Solutions (PE-backed)
How I Work
I'm a hands-on operator. I learned operations from the inside, running client delivery for Fortune 500 companies, and I still start there: learn how the work actually gets done, then redesign the operating model, governance, and execution systems around it.
I build what the team can own, and I stay long enough to see it hold. On AI, I'm a pragmatist: I scale it where it pays off and walk away where it doesn't. Growth follows good operations, because clients who trust delivery buy more.

EverRise Now
I've spent most of my career in multi-year operating seats: seven years at Cigna Healthcare and five at NTT DATA, where I turned around an underperforming payer services portfolio without losing a client and grew revenue from inside it. My deepest domain fluency is in healthcare and regulated environments, with strong roots in technology and supply chain.
Professional Background
EverRise Now (2023 to present). Through my operating practice, I've built a supply chain modernization practice from zero, earned a delivery-leadership seat inside a top-3 global hyperscaler's cloud supply chain program, helped an early-stage AI company win its first Fortune 100 engagement, and designed QPROi™, a healthcare quality intelligence method (patent pending).
Salesforce. Embedded in the CIO organization, I helped redesign GTM, partner, and Professional Services operating models, shape a large transformation investment portfolio, and prepare for a major acquisition.
NTT DATA. Recruited after the Dell Services combination to turn around a payer services business across claims, enrollment, billing, and contact center operations in North America and APAC. I stabilized delivery, kept every client, built quality into a new line of revenue, and scaled automation where the economics held.
Cigna Healthcare. Over seven years I rose to Six Sigma leader for U.S. Service Operations, built the portfolio governance that guided service operations investment, redesigned member and provider experience, and led the analytics that helped restore Medicare Advantage enrollment.
Earlier. As an early operating partner at a PE-backed supply chain software company, I ran client delivery for Fortune 500 companies through the company's acquisition and exit. That is where I learned operations from the inside.
