Aude Durand is a Deputy CEO at iliad Group. She is proficient in Allemand. Colleagues describe her as "I hold a dual appointment as an Adjunct Professor at Stanford’s Department of Management Science and Engineering (MS&E), and the Director of Systems Design and Collaborative Research at the Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital (LPCH) Stanford. Aude was my student in MS&E 263, a course on healthcare operations management, and a Research Assistant for several projects at LPCH. Aude has demonstrated a passion for working in healthcare, a talent for team leadership, excellent analytical skills, and strong communication skills. In the months Aude has worked with us at LPCH, she has been part of a team of graduate students, practicing clinicians, and hospital leaders. She led work on two important projects, analyzing and improving the flow of surgical patients and building a simulation and forecasting model to help plan for the opening of a new building that will double the capacity of the hospital. She has shown fluency in all aspects of working in healthcare, from mapping current processes by shadowing patients and interviewing the nurses to analyzing historical data and coding a forecasting tool for the hospital expansion. Her strong technical skills, ability to communicate clearly, and exceptional organization make her an invaluable partner. Her great sense of humor make her a pleasure to work with." and "Aude is a real pleasure to work with. I had the honor to work with her for the past 5 months and I can without any reservation say that she is extremely competent and a great team player. She has excellent programming skills, attention for details and computational knowledge. In the few months we worked together she was our best resource to work with for intelligent observations and to create high level models for prediction and decision making. She has the great ability to make detailed observations of a given process, and react with fast and efficient problem solving skills in a very creative and unconventional fashion. She completed incredible work here at The Stanford Children Hospital and we really hope she will be able to work for us in the future."
