Speaking Personally...
QHow has your early life experiences shaped your philosophy and
career passion?
A. Growing up on a farm in North Dakota, an environment where you
truly do rise early, work all day, and go to bed late taught me several
things. To begin with, hard work and perseverance provides a significantly
better opportunity for success than allowing your future be determined
by fate or lack of direction. It also taught me that perceiving life with a
positive, hopeful perspective enhances the opportunity for the outcomes
desired; even when things don’t go as planned, such as drought, loss of
crops and/or livestock. Maintaining a positive, forward thinking outlook
will help determine the best next steps to minimize a failure and ensure
future achievement.
QWhat unique challenges are facing a C-level executive within a
healthcare/medical setting?
A. Changing expectations by patients, the government, insurers, and
healthcare providers drives much of the change that the healthcare
industry is experiencing. Untested, questionable payment strategies
by the government and other payers create an environment where
healthcare organizations are reticent to invest in the infrastructure
necessary to implement the strategies required to be successful.
Additionally, the need for new skillsets and capital investment in data
analytics is being required to ensure that organizations providing services
within the healthcare industry achieve the intended objectives. Not only
is this a costly endeavor, but the ability to find the people and systems to
manage complex data analytics is a daunting proposition.
QWhat distinct advantage will you bring to your next organization in
terms of financial and operational management?
A. Having both operational and financial acumen provides me with
a distinct advantage over others who have focused their careers on
either financial or operational management. Not only do I understand
the operational needs that an organization may be facing, regardless
of what the financial outlook of the situation may be; but the financial
expertise that I have obtained throughout my career provides me with
the insight to help an organization achieve its operational goals in the
most fiscally sound manner possible.
