Hi, I’m Vanna
I lead teams to build effective digital experiences that drive patient engagement
-
Who am I?
I’m a problem-solver and builder, blending project, program, and product management to deliver measurable impact. As a conscientious leader, I focus on aligning form with function, ensuring that technology and operations work seamlessly together. I’m at my best when leading empowered teams to build solutions that create meaningful progress in healthcare, digital transformation, and operational strategy.

What's my strength and weakness?
One of my top CliftonStrengths is Discipline, which reflects my meticulous, structured approach to problem-solving. I naturally create order where needed, breaking down complex, long-term projects into clear, actionable steps. This strength enables me to bring clarity to ambiguity, ensuring teams stay aligned and projects stay on track.
My strong sense of responsibility and commitment means I take ownership of outcomes. At times, this can lead to over-commitment at the expense of my own well-being. To counterbalance this, I’ve developed a framework to prioritize my time and focus on high-impact work, ensuring I stay effective without burnout.

- A decisive leader who thrives in fast-moving environments, making informed decisions to drive tangible progress.
- A team scaler who has built, grown, and aligned teams for high-impact execution.
