Your profile
Ownership: you’re hands on even when leading a crew – you lead by example but also create a strong structure
Builder: opening new markets or verticals excites you. Writing the playbook is more exciting to you than reading one.
Ownership: you don’t sit back and wait, you go out and create value through action
Communication: love written communication & sweat the details
Initiative: you are OK to build your own decks, 1-pagers, and content. You don’t need a 100-person sales team to make an impact from Day 1
Outcomes focused: no-ego doer & scrappy; you want to put your name on something meaningful in healthcare.
Thrive In-Person: when you’re not out with customers, we’re in office 5-days-per week
