A digital company thinks differently than a physical company. Most of us are both, and so you have to go with the perspective of the one that is the most vulnerable, which is why we take the same approach to all tier levels.

What happens if you can't afford healthcare? I'm hopeful that the patient experience is something we're taking to heart because if a pandemic did nothing else, it really uncovered the need for true empathy, to be present, to listen, to communicate, to understand what people's individual circumstances are. It put a greater focus on the advocacy of wellness and the advocacy of helping people to truly be healthy.

I would say that I am most curious about creating a code based infrastructure. Having the minimum necessary footprint from an infrastructure perspective so that I can really double down on what it means for us to be a high-performing software development shop and being able to do that in the most nuanced ways that are new and exciting and allow people to keep growing and building and learning.

I've never met anybody in my company in person. I interviewed on Zoom. I work on Zoom. I have literally not anyone face to face. So how can you actually curate and build relationships? How do you build trust? I believe if nothing else, that the lasting impact on health IT is our ability to be innovative and try things in a new and different way and not let bureaucracy and red tape dictate how we are willing to try something.
