- Executive Framing & Influence: Tailor strategic messaging and business rationale to external clinical leaders, aligning physician practice goals with DaVita’s clinical and operational capabilities.
4. Operational Partnership & Matrix Leadership
- Field Partnership: Collaborate seamlessly with Division Vice Presidents (DVPs), Regional Operations Directors (RODs), Field Strategy, and Finance partners to integrate growth plans into local operating rhythms.

- Cross-Lane Alignment: Lead through influence across clinical, legal, regulatory, and finance lanes to align internal stakeholders around deal execution and strategic priorities.
5. Culture, Compliance & Initiative Leadership
- Lead the DaVita Way: Champion DaVita’s core values (Service Excellence, Integrity, Team, Continuous Improvement, Accountability, Fulfillment, and Fun), fostering a collaborative and high-performing culture.
- Compliance & Partner Selection: Ensure strict adherence to DaVita’s healthcare compliance standards, partner selection criteria, and regulatory mandates across all deals and provider interactions.
