Tell us a little bit about yourself—what do you like to do outside of work?


Outside of work, I enjoy staying active with my wife and our two rambunctious boys, ages 3.5 and 15 months. They definitely keep us on our toes! We love exploring new parks, playgrounds, and family-friendly activities around the South Bay—anything that lets us be outdoors and burn off some energy together.

As a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?


As a kid, I wanted to be either a scientist or a hardware engineer. I grew up surrounded by computers and hardware thanks to my dad, which sparked my early interest in engineering. But as I got older, I found myself drawn to chemistry and biology. At one point, my dream was to cure cancer, and that passion for impactful work in science and healthcare has always stayed with me. Eventually, I pivoted into recruiting, where I discovered an affinity for building meaningful connections and helping companies scale by hiring exceptional talent. 

Describe a day in the life of your role.


As the leader of our global People and Talent functions, my day is a mix of strategy and support. I work closely with both teams to ensure we're attracting, hiring, and retaining the best talent to help Commure deliver on its mission of improving care for people around the world. This includes everything from refining our hiring plans and people programs to partnering with leaders across the business on org design, performance, and culture. Every day is different, but it’s always focused on building a strong, values-driven company where great people can do their best work.

What made you decide to join Commure?


Healthcare has always been deeply personal to me. I’ve lived with diabetes for over a decade, and I’ve also experienced the pain of losing my dad to cancer. Those experiences shaped my perspective and made it clear that I wanted to dedicate my work to improving healthcare on a broader scale. I joined Commure because I believe in its mission to fix what's broken in the healthcare system. Healthcare touches everyone at some point in their lives, and the urgency for real, meaningful change is something I feel every day. Joining a team that's building solutions with the potential for global impact made it an easy decision.

How would you describe the Commure company culture?


I’ve gravitated towards start-ups throughout my career, but Commure stands out for the sheer velocity of its growth. It’s an incredibly fast-paced environment where everyone is driven by a strong sense of purpose—we’re all focused on shipping quickly and delivering exceptional products and experiences for our customers. There’s a real culture of execution here, which has led to high-quality outcomes and meaningful progress. What’s been most rewarding, though, is working alongside such a talented, mission-driven team. Everyone here shares a deep passion for improving healthcare, and that collective energy is extremely motivating.

What advice would you give someone on their first day at Commure?


Be ready to make an impact from Day 1. Commure moves fast, faster than anywhere I’ve worked before, which means there are constant opportunities to learn, grow, and stretch yourself. Take ownership, lean into challenges, and think about how you can help build not just for today, but for the future of the company. Take it one step at a time, and enjoy seeing the company grow with a great team. 

What has been your greatest accomplishment so far at Commure?


Since joining Commure nearly a year ago, one of my greatest accomplishments has been helping lead through an incredible phase of growth. In that time, we’ve completed four acquisitions and scaled our workforce to over 3,000 employees globally. It’s been fast-paced and complex, but incredibly rewarding to see how far we’ve come in such a short time. What’s most exciting is that we’re just getting started—we have strong momentum and ambitious plans for the second half of the year as we continue to grow and expand our impact in healthcare.
