With over 20 years of experience in the IT industry, my journey extends across the FinTech, Time and Attendance, and Oil and Gas industries, both in industry and in the consulting space. I have had the privilege to have worked for startups, mid-size, and multi-national corporations, and have filled many roles throughout my career.

In previous roles, I have led cross-functional teams in the delivery of products taking them to market in the fastest way, with the highest quality, and with a clear ROI. 

While at Houston Methodist Hospital, I led multiple digital transformation efforts which included implementing the content management system that runs houstonmethodist.org, a migration of the SharePoint collaboration platform, as well as establishing the hospital’s cloud migration roadmap. I also spearheaded the initial innovation efforts that would later result in the creation of their current innovation hub.

Recently, I served as Chief Technology Officer at Logica Ratio, a consulting firm in the medico-legal space, where I lead all aspects of technology enablement and digital transformation. This included weaving an agile and continuous improvement mindset throughout the organization as well as a complete overhaul of the organization’s operations, technology, and cybersecurity.

I currently lead Danvir Consulting. A consulting firm focused on technology, product management, digital transformation, and organizational strategy.

Although my first love was not technology, and at one point I thought of becoming a professional musician, I love technology in how it touches people’s daily lives. I believe we are uniquely positioned to make a difference in the lives of others by providing experiences that improve their day-to-day lives.

I believe in servant leadership and leading with humility. This is very dear to my heart, so much so that I wrote an article on the importance of value-centric leadership for the Forbes Technology Council. In the article, I express my heartfelt belief that we show the values we believe in not by what we say, but by how we behave. As leaders, we have a responsibility to move those values off the wall and into day-to-day conversations. We have been given talents for a purpose and everything that drives us should be geared towards maximizing them for the good of others.
