Do you remember the last time you walked into Blockbuster to grab a DVD for the weekend? And what was it like doing real estate before Zillow and Redfin? Or shopping retail prior to Amazon? Times have changed… but does this level of disruption and pace of change have any application to healthcare? A looming tidal wave of consumerism in healthcare will soon answer this question.As a healthcare strategy and product leader, I help companies transform to meet emerging customer needs.Daily, I’m presented with opportunities to apply my expertise, challenge the status quo, and drive necessary change. I thrive in this setting. I’ve been told that my gifts are my adaptability, empathy, problem solving, and commitment to drive change, even amidst ambiguity. I am a values-driven healthcare executive adept at:• Developing enterprise strategy that optimizes for business resiliency and shifting market conditions• Driving systematic implementation• Negotiating complex business deals in the public and private sector• Securing and overseeing significant capital investments• Establishing performance standards that ensure business, product, and consumer outcomes Since joining Premera in 2017, where I’ve led the Enterprise Strategy and Business Planning function, and now lead Integrated Products, I’ve been focused on developing strategy and implementation plans that help my employer deliver on its promise – to make healthcare work better. There’s nothing better than working for a company whose purpose speaks directly to your own mission. In my current role, I’m capitalizing on an opportunity to drive Premera’s Vertical Integration strategy at the Operations level. This has been a fantastic opportunity to get closer to the customer while developing strategic partnerships with provider organizations that are interested in creating new value for customers.Prior to joining Premera, I spent 9 years in State government, most recently serving as Chief Policy Officer for the Washington Health Care Authority where I led health transformation efforts across commercial, public employee, and Medicaid market segments.
