- How many times have you had to reinvent yourself in your career?

- A recent example of your leadership style:
- After the center's power failed during Hurricane Sandy, I joined an all-hands effort to evacuate patients from the hospital. Immediately afterward, I gathered my team in a hotel conference room, where we established an emergency command center and began to tackle the massive recovery effort.

- Our new innovation center was designed to showcase new business processes and technologies. We are establishing a complementary innovation community to harvest faculty, staff and student ideas via our new socially-driven digital platform.
