Vice President, Human Resources

A deep dive the features healthcare organizations need, obstacles to avoid, and insights from executives who have already made the move to population health management.

I learned two things early on: first, that I am curious by nature; and second, I love getting the best out of people. I have always been a learner and often have my nose buried in a newspaper, book, or blog, and this passion for knowledge has led me in pursuit of a dynamic career path that revolves around working with diverse groups of people in many different capacities. I have worked in accounting, headhunting, and human resources – yet what has stayed consistent throughout my career experience has been my desire to bring compassion to a variety of roles and organizations where people can thrive and grow. As today’s industries face the exponential growth of technology and a virtual workforce, it is vital that businesses have HR professionals who can balance the explosion of workplace technology with the wisdom of basic human needs for connection in order to retain remote employees and keep them feeling “plugged in” to the company. Currently I am a Senior Director of HR at Cadent – a small, but fast growing technology company. As a business person first, and HR professional second, I understand how to transform workforces to ensure the talent and skills are available to meet strategic and corporate goals; and how to ensure employees are fully emotionally engaged and performing at the highest level – especially those who are working from afar. I am passionate about building lasting relationships by injecting a bit of humanity into today’s modern workforce. I welcome all connections and invite you to join my network today. ✉ edobrienhr@gmail.com
