A Strategic Focus on Telemedicine
Wow! Today I am starting as the first Chief Strategy and Growth Officer at Intelehealth.
I am humbled by Neha Verma‘s trust in me to help Intelehealth improve access to primary health care and lower costs for national health insurance programs via telemedicine methodologies and technologies.
I’ll be focused on four core activities for the organization across our programs in India, Kyrgyzstan, and Indonesia – and future programs in other countries:
- Driving Strategic Alignment Across the Organization
- Leading an Organizational Growth Strategy
- Strengthening Fundraising Strategy & Execution
- Stewarding Strategic Projects & Cross-Cutting Initiatives
I am excited for this role!
Last year, I created a vision board of what I wanted in a new job. I thought I found that at Humentum, but alas, the destruction of USAID cast me into unemployment. I reassessed my vision board in February, and while the role I sought had changed, my underlying values did not.
- I still want to work in a small firm with global impact.
- I still believe in local ownership and digital innovation.
- I still have a strong humanitarian ethos driving my life.
That is why I am excited for my new role at Intelehealth – it has all the values I seek.
One of my first questions to Neha was the fate of ICTworks and Career Pivot. I have great news on both topics.
Career Pivot Will Continue!
I have a deep personal desire to help you get a new job. Unemployment (or the fear of it) is a deeply traumatic experience. Layoff trauma is real. This is my third time, and certainly the worst. I am here to see you transition to success.
Look for more practical tips, tricks, and insights to accelerate your job search. Sneak peek: I’m building digital tools now to help you soon.
Career Pivot is How I Got This Job
Neha saw my resilience and my ability to help. Combined with my years of thought leadership via ICTworks, she sees me as a strong and conscientious leader for Intelehealth. I am honored by her belief in me.
I also spent years following the 7 Steps to Career Pivot success. I practiced what I preached, including defining my dream role so I’d know it when I saw it – this one!
You Can Be a Pivoter Too!
The whole reason I started Career Pivot is to share what works. I spent years in the wilderness, applying blindly to job ads with zero success. Don’t do that.
Do this instead. Follow our steps, join a Job Search Council, find your dream role, network like mad to break into it, and interview like a pro! Be sure to leverage Generative AI in every step.
You can do this! And for the love of god, do NOT search alone.
