Healthcare founder-operator · Melbourne

I build and run healthcare businesses, and help owners plan what comes next.

I'm the founder-operator behind Emerald Medical Centre and Next Practice Prahran. I care about well-run clinics, good people and patient experience, in that order of difficulty.

What I build

Healthcare businesses that run well without me in every room.

See all ventures
Clinic

Emerald Medical Centre

Owner and operator. Community general practice in the Dandenong Ranges, focused on access, continuity and a team that stays.

Clinic

Next Practice Prahran

Owner and operator. A modern inner-city practice built around fast access, thoughtful design and a clear patient experience.

Projects

Events and other ventures

Event production and show-calling, precinct leadership and partnerships. The lessons travel straight back into the clinics.

Work with me

Three ways owners and founders bring me in.

Every conversation starts confidentially and without obligation. Most start with a coffee, not a contract.

01

Succession

You've built something good and you're thinking about what happens next. Let's plan it while you still love the business, not after.

Talk about succession
02

Partnership and co-ownership

You want a partner who has run clinics, not just advised them. Someone with skin in the game and the same standards you have.

Talk about partnering
03

Founder and operator support

You're growing fast and the business has outgrown how it's run. I help put the systems, people and rhythm in place.

Talk about operating support
Speaking

Practical talks for owners, operators and clinical leaders.

Conferences, podcasts, panels and EO events. I talk about what actually happens inside healthcare businesses, without the slide-deck gloss.

Invite me to speak
  • Building a clinic that runs without you in every room
  • Succession is a strategy, not an exit
  • Calm under pressure: what live events teach leaders

Thinking about what's next for your healthcare business?

Succession, partnership or just a second opinion from someone who's run clinics. Let's talk. It stays between us.

Everything you share stays between us.
