Toby Buckalew, MBA's Linkedin Analytics

I am a Senior Executive experienced in multiple industries, over 10 years in multiple aspects of healthcare, and entrepreneurial experience in growth and turnaround organizations. Both a Chief Information Officer (CIO) with P&L and RCM experience, as well as operations experience and a Chief Executive Officer (CEO) with experience turning around troubled organizations, I excel at solving complex problems! WHAT I DO: Understanding and driving strategy is becoming a lost art with many confusing daily tactics with strategic decisions. I excel at developing short and long-term strategies while mentoring my team to grow with the organization. My experience helping to turn a troubled (formerly public organization) practice management organization with over 300 locations in 32 states and Puerto Rico highlights my abilities to build relationships with physicians, manage multiple aspects of complex environments, and ability to retain and gain market share through well-formed strategies. WHAT MAKES ME DIFFERENT: Starting my early career in sales and marketing, I evolved to become a strategic technologist and CIO before crossing lines into operations and more senior leadership roles. This combination of roles and experience in multiple industries give me a broad set of knowledge from which to craft innovative solutions.

KD5GID - my FCC-issued amateur radio operator call sign. I have enjoyed spotting storms for the NWS with SkyWarn and used my skills on a search team in East Texas after the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster. My wife and I love SCUBA diving! We take a trip each year to blow some bubbles, even if it is a short trip (the Florida Keys are wonderful). There is more about me, but that is another conversation!
