During nearly two decades at Mayo Clinic as both a practicing Interventional Radiologist and Executive Finance and Global Business Development leader, Dr. Friese drove strategic partnerships that expanded Mayo's innovative care models to serve over 20 million patients worldwide. His experience bridging clinical excellence with operational efficiency informs his approach to healthcare transformation.
