Laurie McGraw is speaking with Inspiring Woman Mary Flipse at the WBL (Women Business Leaders of the U.S. Health Care Industry Foundation) Annual Summit.
Mary gives us a view into the life of a start up after spending the first part of her career in large companies. As Chief Legal Officer and a stint with five CEOs in five years, board activists and more, it was time for a career break. Through the power of relationships, this led to PreferCare. We all know the startup drill – high energy, hard work, major highs often coupled with major lows. Mary has found that her years of executive experience has served her well while in startup mode. She knows how to find the right answers when she needs them. Her biggest surprise? The tremendous generosity of people willing to help.
In this episode we also discuss some of the signature programs of WBL. Mary has been involved with the Board Program since the beginning. The best part? The accountability. And a support network that will find and make the connections you want. That is how she found the CEO of her current startup! Mary also discusses the new WBL Boundless Campaign where WBL aims to support the next generation of women leaders.
