How I can help
For independent ASCs, health systems, and multi-site operators. Engagements can focus on a specific decision, a broader operational assessment, or hands-on leadership.
01 / PERFORMANCE
Understand what is limiting performance and where your team should focus first.
Potential scope: An operational assessment with prioritized recommendations and an implementation plan.
02 / GROWTH & DILIGENCE
Bring an operational perspective to a transaction, a new service line, or a surgeon’s transition into an ASC.
Potential scope: A review of operational risks and readiness, with recommendations for the decision or launch ahead.
03 / LEADERSHIP
Keep operations moving when an administrator position is open or your team needs additional senior support.
Potential scope: An agreed leadership remit, operating priorities, and a transition plan for the permanent team.
04 / FOR VENDORS
Build your approach around how surgery centers purchase, operate, and make clinical decisions.
Potential scope: An operational review of your market approach and recommendations for engaging ASC buyers.

About the principal
I founded OLI to help surgery centers and health systems address the operational problems that affect patients, teams, and performance.
My approach draws on 21 years in perioperative and ambulatory surgery. I work with administrators, physicians, and clinical teams to understand how a center runs, identify where change is needed, and develop practices the team can maintain.
The story behind OLI
I named OLI after my grandmother, Okunskaya Lubov Ivanovna. She guided me toward nursing. The purple African violet in the firm’s logo was her favorite flower.
After graduating from the Tashkent Medical Institute in 1955, she began her career as a physician. From 1965 to 1985, she led the Tashkent Municipal Medical School, named after P.F. Borovsky.
She oversaw the construction of a new nursing school from the ground up, revising standard school blueprints to create a building designed for clinical teaching. In our family, her Builder of Tashkent award is remembered for that work.
We also remember a World Health Organization commission’s visit to assess the school’s nursing education against international standards. Its favorable assessment was a source of lasting pride. In 1976, while leading the school, she received the title of Distinguished Medical Doctor of the Uzbek SSR.
Thousands of nurses trained under her leadership and went on to care for patients across several continents. Her belief in preparing nurses well continues to shape how I work with clinical teams today.
