Pathology groups don't fail because of science. They fail because of leadership, structure, and the inability to navigate change.
I work with pathology practices navigating leadership and structural challenges — and with medtech, diagnostics, and digital pathology companies that need board-certified pathologist-level clinical leadership embedded in their organization, not just on call.
Why Sirgi Consulting
Pathology groups don't fail because of science. They fail because of leadership, structure, and the inability to navigate change. After 25+ years practicing as a board-certified pathologist, directing laboratories, leading one of the nation's largest independent pathology groups, and presiding the medical staff of a tertiary care institution, I founded Sirgi Consulting to give pathology practices access to the kind of strategic and organizational expertise that most groups never get, until it's too late.
​
I've spent the past 25 years in hospital and group leadership settings, including:
​
- CAP Lifetime Achievement Award
- Board Certified: AP, CP, Cytopathology
- Fellowship: MD Anderson Cancer Center
- Fellowship: Washington University / Barnes
- President, CAP Foundation
- President, American Pathology Foundation
- Chair, CAP Practice Management Committee
​
I bring a combination of deep clinical credibility and executive-level business acumen (MD, MBA) to help pathology groups navigate their most complex challenges: Governance, succession planning, workload equity, group dynamics, strategic positioning, and organizational culture.
​
If your group is stuck, fractured, or simply ready to grow, let's talk.
