I, like anyone that has had the opportunity to work with Aden, consider myself lucky to have worked with such a tremendous talent. He is truly an inspirational team member and visionary, exactly what the healthcare industry needs today. His business acumen is unparalleled. His ability to bring teams together and achieve results is incredible. He is someone I consistently turn to for mentorship and thoughtful discussion about the current healthcare environment. I give my highest recommendation to Aden.

I worked with Aden during a difficult season of change where we faced some of the most wicked problems and challenging opportunities. Aden instantly knew how to navigate the enormous task of breaking down barriers, establishing and building relationships, and influencing positive change resulting in the delivery of strategic initiatives. Aden is a transformational leader inspiring others to move mountains by pouring his heart and soul into the team, the mission, and the organization. He is a mentor at every opportunity, uses his humor and pleasing personality to bring teams together, and continues to raise the bar for his own leadership development. It is a privilege to work with and learn from a leader of this caliber.
