Best Pharmaceutical Compliance Experts

I’m a lifesciences compliance strategist with a passion for building real-world, right-sized programs in fast-moving environments. With deep experience in pharma and medtech, I specialize in translating regulatory complexity into practical, actionable frameworks. I’ve spent 7+ years navigating the gray areas of compliance—from training physicians on industry expectations to building startup programs from the ground up. I believe compliance should be ethical, functional, and human-centered—and that culture is built through clarity, storytelling, and respect, not fear. Outside of policy and audits, I speak regularly on startup compliance and love turning “boring” topics into memorable moments. I'm here to connect, create, and contribute.

I am a healthcare compliance executive and the originator of Stark Watch, a generative AI platform built to monitor physician contracts for strict adherence to the Stark Law and the Anti-Kickback Statute (AKS). As a Compliance Vice President at a $4B health system, I navigate the complexities of healthcare regulations, hospital-physician financial relationships, and corporate ethics on a daily basis. Ensuring physician compensation compliance is one of the most resource-intensive challenges for modern hospitals. Historically, auditing these agreements for Fair Market Value (FMV) and commercial reasonableness required hundreds of hours of manual review. Recognizing this bottleneck, I architected Stark Watch to transform healthcare regulatory technology (RegTech). Our compliance software leverages generative AI to automate contract analysis, detect potential AKS violations, and track compensation tied to Designated Health Services (DHS). By turning a reactive auditing process into a proactive, technology-driven workflow, Stark Watch empowers health systems to protect their bottom line, avoid severe regulatory penalties, and maintain the highest ethical standards in their physician partnerships. With a deep commitment to safeguarding healthcare integrity, I hold triple certifications: Certified in Healthcare Compliance (CHC), Certified Compliance & Ethics Professional (CCEP), and Certified in Healthcare Privacy Compliance (CHPC). My current focus is bridging the gap between stringent regulatory frameworks and cutting-edge technology. I actively use artificial intelligence to streamline compliance operations, ensure alignment with OIG safe harbors, and mitigate AKS and Stark Law risks in complex contracting environments. My professional focus centers on providing actionable insights into the practical application of AI in healthcare administration, the evolving landscape of the Stark Law and Anti-Kickback Statute, and the future of healthcare compliance software. Whether analyzing recent Department of Justice enforcement trends or designing algorithms to parse complex medical directorship agreements, my goal is to make healthcare compliance more efficient, accurate, and accessible.

My innovative approach to healthcare has earned me national recognition, including an honor in Marquis Who’s Who and a featured interview with VoyagePhoenix highlighting my journey and the mission behind Fusion Medical Care.

I entered the hemp space at the very beginning when there were almost no guardrails, no industry playbook, and very few operators who truly understood what it took to formulate something that actually worked. Hemp-derived flower and hemp wellness products were barely a category. What existed was largely untested, poorly sourced, and built around novelty rather than need. From day one, our approach was different purpose before profit, formulation before marketing, and a deep belief that every formulation should serve a real purpose. At JustKana, I oversee product development, quality control, and sourcing from the ground up. That means building relationships directly with small-batch organic hemp farms, evaluating raw material quality before it ever reaches a formulation stage, and ensuring every finished product meets both our internal standards and third-party lab verification. My work lives at the intersection of plant science and consumer wellness. I specialize in cannabinoid formulation for real therapeutic outcomes sleep support, chronic pain relief, anxiety management, and inflammation using full-spectrum hemp extracts that preserve the natural compound profile of the plant rather than isolating single ingredients. Over the years I've helped develop products that have made a measurable difference for thousands of people veterans managing PTSD, seniors dealing with chronic joint pain, and individuals looking to replace pharmaceutical sleep aids with something cleaner and plant-derived. That direct connection to consumer outcomes shapes every formulation decision I make. I understand the hemp supply chain from soil to finished product cultivation practices, extraction methods, cannabinoid and terpene profiles, and how sourcing decisions downstream directly impact what a customer experiences. In a space flooded with white-labeled, mass-produced products, that depth of knowledge is rare.
