Hometown: Cincinnati Education: Xavier University (undergraduate and master’s) What’s the main way your business organization changed over the past two years of the pandemic? The pandemic showed that our system of providing care in this country is broken, focused on episodic care instead of promoting healthy behaviors. The fi rst line of defense for the vulnerable, and for all of us, is to manage chronic conditions so they can better withstand a viral attack.

Hometown: Revere, Massachusetts Education: Johns Hopkins University (undergraduate), Carnegie Mellon University (master’s), Michigan State University (master’s), University of Vermont (MD) Compare your leadership approach today to how you led before the pandemic. My leadership style hasn’t changed much, but checking in on the team is more important than ever.
