Tony is the Senior Director of Continuous Improvement at the Cleveland Clinic. His work there is to help the organization continue building a sustainable improvement culture through implementation of the Cleveland Clinic Improvement Model.

After 20+ years working in the manufacturing sector, Tony made a career transition into healthcare. Leading the Lean Promotion office at OhioHealth, his efforts yielded the organization’s first ever strategy deployment connecting organizational level goals to project level assignments, tens of millions of dollars in cost reduction and countless hours of performance and executive coaching aimed at leader development.
