- A career highlight:
- I worked for the world's largest engineering/construction organization. My first project assignment was on the Alaska pipeline, in a camp with 3,000-plus men and six women. I learned about my strengths: discipline, commitment and ability to inspire and lead through difficult projects.
- Quick ROI project:
- We launched the Mobility Center of Excellence and delivered a dozen mobile apps for our members, workforce and clinicians in less than a year. Our apps have won numerous awards and have over 1 million downloads to date. We have the most innovative team developing and delivering mobile tools.
- A recent innovative staff idea:
- Imagining Care Anywhere is an interactive experience that explores how healthcare might be transformed in the future by incorporating emerging technologies, strategic partnerships and member-centered services. The nucleus of the concept is that everyday life is the new context of care.
