Meet a Lawyer Turned Healthcare Business Leader

One photo can change a life, and sometimes it rewires an entire career. This week, we sat down with an anonymous C-Suite executive who started out making holiday gifts with his mom. At 23, he was thrown into management at the Four Seasons. Then he walked away to join the Peace Corps. And that's just the beginning. From there, the path gets even wilder: Guatemala, emergency response, becoming an EMT, and eventually making the call to go to law school and build a long in-house career in healthcare and life sciences. We talk honestly about what it means to lead beyond the legal department when you are also responsible for HR, compliance, privacy, cybersecurity, environmental health and safety, and culture. You will hear why he says the “lawyer part” can be the easiest piece and why the hard part is earning trust, coaching people, and clearing the roadblocks so the team can deliver.Subscribe for more anonymous workplace stories, share this with a friend who loves career pivots and leadership lessons, and leave a review so more listeners can find us.
