Become a Value Setter with Andrea Feigl: Lead to Succeed 121

 
 

Episode Summary:

Being the leading voice in healthcare funding requires the courage to be the first to ask and advocate for change.  It's about empowering others to realize they're not alone, encouraging them to step up, and affirming that advocating for change is not just acceptable but essential. This is exactly what our guest Andrea Feigl will empower every leader to do.

As Health Finance Institute's CEO and founder, Andrea brings extensive leadership experience in academia, the public sector, international organizations, and the global non-profit sector.

Her past work focused on the economics and policies of preventing and treating the economic burden of chronic diseases, as well as on health financing and governance, UHC, and cost-effectiveness of chronic disease interventions.

Apart from being the recipient of multiple prestigious awards, she has also authored several high-level reports, including Development Aid Flows for Chronic Diseases for the Center for Global Development and a leading WEF/Harvard report on the global economic burden of chronic diseases.

Andrea was a Visiting Scientist at Harvard from 2015 to 2020 at the School of Public Health and is a Salzburg Global Fellow.
