EVP, Growth @ Pear Suite | ex-Heal (acq. Humana) | Healthcare × AI × Community-Based Care

I am a health tech operator and builder at the intersection of community-based care, public programs, and scalable technology. I serve as Executive Vice President, Growth at Pear Suite, partnering with state health agencies, payers, and community organizations to strengthen community health worker programs, support community-based workforce enablement, and build sustainable systems of care for vulnerable populations. My work focuses on the strategy, execution, and infrastructure required to deliver impact at scale. Previously, I led strategy and growth at Heal, helping scale the company from an early-stage startup into a multi-state provider of value-based primary care. I led cross-functional efforts with product, clinical, and operational teams to build beautifully simple healthcare experiences for underserved patients, supported fundraising as the company raised over $100M, and drove expansion across ten states before our nine-figure exit to Humana, which now operates the model as CenterWell Primary Care Anywhere. Earlier roles in consulting and finance grounded my understanding of how policy, incentives, and community realities shape outcomes. At the heart of my work is a lived belief in opportunity and access. I grew up on Medicaid in the inner city of San Francisco and was supported by College Track, the Laurene Powell Jobs-founded nonprofit that helps underserved students navigate the path to higher education and continues to do so for thousands nationwide. I became the first in my family to graduate from college, attending UC Berkeley as a Gates Foundation “Gates Millennium Scholar.” My life experience guides my commitment to building care models that are trusted, equitable, and grounded in community.
