There’s a lot that I love about my job and role. I get to work with talent that is off the charts. I get to build and grow a business within a business – and in doing so, pass the baton to our next generation of leaders so they have the same opportunity. I get to help clients tackle tough challenges and then see the fruits of their success. I get to help nurture an award-winning culture that enables everyone to be their best at work.Best of all, I get to do these things while fulfilling my lifelong passion for making healthcare better and more accessible.In 2012, we launched West Monroe’s Healthcare & Life Sciences practice. Today, we have more than 100 consultants across our offices dedicated to this industry, increasing our ability to serve local clients with local talent. Collectively, over 300 West Monroe consultants are working with a wide array of healthcare organizations – health plans, dental and ancillary plans, providers, life sciences companies – and their executives to: • Create value through the implementation of digital solutions• Reinvent and streamline operations for an evolving marketplace• Improve care management and clinical outcomes• Accelerate strategic growth, both organically and via mergers and acquisitions• Improve patient/consumer/provider experiences• Leverage technology to do more with less• Proactively address the shifting competitive landscape and legislative impactsIncreasingly, technology is a pervasive topic in the boardroom of all healthcare organizations and a common denominator for driving value from these strategies. Having a “bilingual” – business + technology – perspective has become vital to industry transformation.My commitment to better healthcare doesn’t end at work. I am also an avid supporter and board member of CommunityHealth – the largest volunteer-based free medical clinic in the U.S. and an organization that I see filling a critical societal need by delivering healthcare to the vulnerable population.
