Fractional Chief Growth Officer · Healthcare
I help physicians and healthcare companies go from unknown to trusted.
Fractional growth leadership for funded health companies, performance organizations and physician-founders, across longevity, regenerative medicine and sports medicine.
Why teams bring me in
Every seat around the physician
I've sold to physicians, connected them and built a practice alongside them, so I know what the doctor, the company and the patient each need before they say yes.
Clinical credibility, not just sales
Physicians adopt evidence. I originated a partnership that produced a peer-reviewed publication, and secured an IRB-approved clinical study with Rothman Orthopaedic Institute.
Elite athletes as the proving ground
NBA teams, Red Bull's teams across Europe and its LA performance center. I know how to earn a place in the training room, where physicians and patients look first.
Growth that stays inside the lines
A background in regulated and policy-driven markets, and hands-on work building a practice's compliance foundation, means growth that holds up to scrutiny.
Where I work
Longevity and healthspan
Physician-led practices and products built around prevention, recovery and living well for longer.
Regenerative medicine and biologics
Bringing new therapies into practices, with the clinical credibility physicians need before they adopt. Known across the IOF and TOBI orthobiologics communities.
Sports and performance medicine
Elite athletes adopt first. I've built the paths from pro sports and athlete performance centers into physician practices.
Physician-founders
A senior growth partner for doctors building something of their own.
How I help
Build
Fractional growth leadership
For funded health companies and new physician-led practices that need a senior growth leader before a full-time hire. Go-to-market strategy, physician and partner networks, a commercial roadmap and the infrastructure to scale. 1–2 days a week, 6-month minimum; most engagements run 12 months or more.
Grow
Network and market-entry projects
Defined projects with clear milestones. Provider Network Build: a first phase of about 90 days (target list, outreach and first secured relationships), with most clients continuing month to month as the network grows. Market Entry Plan (6–8 weeks): which specialties and markets have product-market fit, which product to lead with, and the plan to get there.
Advise
One-to-one advisory
For physician-founders and healthcare leaders who want a senior sounding board. Two calls a month plus async access. I also advise investors on the commercial readiness of health companies they're considering.
I report to the CEO, work alongside your clinical and commercial leaders, and hand off a team and playbook that run without me. I take on a small number of engagements at a time, so I can be fully part of each team.
Engagements are scoped individually. Fractional leadership typically ranges from $12,000 to $20,000 a month. Defined projects begin at $15,000, and advisory at $3,000 a month.

Corporate Growth Executive
From unknown to trusted.
I'm a healthcare growth executive who helps new therapies, technologies and practices earn physician trust and market adoption, across longevity, regenerative medicine, biologics, sports and performance medicine, aesthetics and medtech. I work through Ringheim Consulting LLC as a fractional growth leader and advisor.
Before healthcare, as Director of Research at September Group, I advised executives through complex regulatory and policy environments, including ICANN initiatives on internet domain expansion. I competed on The Amazing Race, and it's still how I work: solve problems under pressure, earn strangers' trust fast, and don't stop until we reach the finish.
I've been part of the orthobiologics community for years, including IOF and TOBI conferences, where many of the physicians and thought leaders know my work.
