Leadership
Kerry L. Walsh
Chief Executive Officer · EMT, PPMC“Every thriving business starts with a vision — and the right team to bring it to life.” Kerry co-founded Ark Advisory Group after a career that moved from the back of an ambulance into the executive suite. A first responder turned practice administrator and fractional COO, he has led operational turnarounds inside high-complexity healthcare organizations — orthopedics, spine, neurosurgery, cardiology, rheumatology, and primary care — with deep expertise in revenue cycle, payer contract negotiation, and end-to-end operational redesign. He now applies that same discipline to businesses in every industry: diagnosing what is actually slowing an organization down, building the systems and management structure to fix it, and staying hands-on until the results hold. Kerry holds a B.S. in Healthcare Administration (cum laude) from Southern New Hampshire University and is completing an MBA in Leadership.
Chief Operating Officer · NREMTLJ Rose Anne Pasion
“Passion + purpose = magic.” LJ co-founded Ark Advisory Group and runs the engine of every engagement. A nationally registered EMT, she brings a first responder’s discipline to execution: turning strategy into daily routines, building the workflows and checklists that let teams run consistently, and keeping leaders focused on the decisions only they can make. Inside client organizations, LJ is the person who makes sure the plan actually gets implemented — measured, documented, and sustained after Ark steps back.
Earl Michael Pasion
Director of Business Development
“Growth is not accidental — it’s engineered through strategy, discipline, and execution.” Earl leads business development and client relationships at Ark Advisory Group. He works with owners and leadership teams to understand where their business is today, what is holding it back, and whether Ark is the right fit — and he stays involved as engagements progress so the relationship, and the results, hold. His focus is helping growing companies find their next stage of opportunity and build the structure to reach it.
