Experience
A 360° perspective
Most consultants know one side of a problem. Kenneth has worked inside the organizations that buy, the companies that sell, the classrooms that teach, and the boards that lead, so his advice accounts for how each of them actually decides.
Inside health systems
Business development, branding & community relations
Director-level leadership across three health systems, managing teams responsible for business development, marketing and brand strategy, and physician and community relations. The work spanned strategic planning, service line launches, physician network growth, population health outreach, and performance dashboards that leadership teams actually use, including a large public health system’s first community health needs assessment and implementation plan.
Inside life sciences
