Selling solutions to health systems involves multi-level leaders and decision makers with different and complex needs. Alison identifies who is necessary to move the process along and determines what is most important to each person/role. She includes each in the appropriate level of conversation to ensure consensus is built, laying a foundation of support within the organization to support the solution internally. Having been part of many meetings with her, I know she moves easily between finance, operations, and pharmacy conversations and can explain complex ideas in the right amount of detail to show how her solutions relate to each stakeholder. Her ability to learn new ideas and present solutions is very high level. She assimilated new ideas quickly and incorporated how they would help customers at each level of the organization. I would say the best thing about Alison is her teamwork. She knows all of her teammates bring skills and benefits to the group and she does a good job assimilating them into a cohesive unit. Regardless of role or position, each become family to her and she does a great job ensuring the people she works with understand how important they are to her. Both professionally and personally, Alison is someone I trust and her performance raises the bar for each team she joins.", and "I reported directly to Alison as a supervisor while at Cardinal Health. She is a very passionate, thoughtful, caring and think outside the box leader. Alison taught me a lot of valuable lessons during our time together. The most memorable one was her pushing me out of my 'comfort' zone. She pushed me to the edge to see my potential and help me to grow as a leader. This lesson I will carry throughout my career now and forever."
