Q: What excites you most about BrightInsight?
A: I’m most excited about the possibilities BrightInsight’s platform creates for life science and medical device companies - and ultimately their patients.
Today’s healthcare technology leaders are challenged to keep pace with an increasingly dynamic and complex global regulatory and cybersecurity landscape. This challenge is further complicated by the need to attract new talent and reskill their teams to drive digital transformation, critical to the competitive success of their firms.
BrightInsight tackles these challenges by providing a globally healthcare focused, regulatory compliant, and secure infrastructure and data platform as a service. This in turn enables technology leaders to deploy trusted, elegant and differentiating customer facing solutions faster by focusing their scare resources at the application layer where they have the greatest likelihood of benefitting patient outcomes.
Q: Where is your favorite place on earth?
A: Anywhere I can spend undivided time with my husband and our sons’ families or scuba diving far under the surface of our beautiful oceans.
