Andy Slavitt

Trevor and Steve sit down with Andy Slavitt, the former Acting Administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. Andy was nominated by former President Barack Obama to run CMS after he spearheaded the efforts to repair healthcare.gov following its infamous initial rollout. In addition to chronicling his time in public office, Andy recounts his experiences as an entrepreneur during the founding days of what is now Optum, and what it was like to lead the company as it scaled. He shares his reflections on growing an organization, exploring the importance of thinking about the emotional impact of healthcare, how to be a magnet for talent, and the value of empowering teams to foster a performance-driven culture.
