How do you support our mission statement?

I recruit talent who embody our core values and are actively becoming Changemakers in the world. Becoming a Changemaker means empowering teams to make real impact. Reform does not come easy in our work and we must build teams with a culture that helps us to really make a difference. I engage with candidates to understand their passion to drive change by asking questions around belonging, simplicity, curiosity, tenacity and integrity. This helps me align potential talent with our goal to reimagine the health ecosystem.
