On this episode of the RAISE Podcast, Brent chats with Cindi Roth, President and CEO, West Virginia University Foundation. Cindi has been an ICU nurse, a hospital administrator, a non-profit board member, Chief Nursing Officer, and Vice President of a major healthcare network. She was also the president of her senior class at the University of Pittsburgh, Pitt’s youngest Trustee, and is now the first female CEO and President of the WVU Foundation. Cindi is driven by a commitment to structure, process, and outcome; by the belief in equal health care for every single West Virginian; by a sense urgency without emergency; and by an embrace of élan, a French word meaning “to dart around with enthusiasm, flair, and panache.” Cindi can save lives in the ICU and raise billions of dollars to support first-generation college students, like herself.
