CEO, Adaeze Enekwechi

“I am focused on how we direct private capital to build a better, person-centered healthcare system. When I was the head of Health at the White House Office of Management and Budget under President Obama, I worked across the entire federal health landscape to lead ACA implementation, our response to Zika and several public health crises, every Medicare payment rule, and many CMMI value based care demonstrations. Since then, I have focused on how we address our short-term, piecemeal approach to complex health problems that require vision and holistic approaches.

How we leverage human capital, technology, analytics, and care design for a system that serves vulnerable, older, and various minority communities in an increasingly value-driven payment environment is the conversation all of us should be having. How we develop a health system that is fiscally sustainable and responsive to a broad set of needs is a conversation too many are not having.

I am a student of history, literature, and cultures, and yet, I am drawn to lead in healthcare. But it is that broad perspective, and perhaps my own very American and multicultural background that attracts me to this field and makes me see that healthcare is almost never only about health: context is everything.”
