Education

The George Washington University

Master of Health Services Administration

Chris previously led ECG’s Academic Healthcare Division and now serves as ECG’s president. He works with executive leadership and boards of AMCs, health systems, children’s hospitals, and related academic and community physician organizations. Chris and his team primarily focus on the organizational design and performance of an AMC’s clinical enterprise (adult and children’s teaching hospitals, faculty group practice, and affiliated community providers). He is credited with introducing a series of innovative approaches to the market that enable the component entities of an AMC to become more functionally integrated through the redesign of corporate, governance, management, and/or financial structures. He has a proven track record for leading large-scale, multiparty initiatives in politically charged environments that result in a more informed and responsive AMC that is better positioned to excel in today’s marketplace. He advises many of the highest-ranking academic health systems and children’s hospitals in the United States.
