Adrienne worked as a healthcare executive for over 20 years, including substantial time at Mayo Clinic and Duke Health, serving as the Chief Administrative Officer for Duke Eye Center from 2013-2020. She spent most of her career helping turn around organizations, while driving integrations and building teams that worked together to improve the experience for the patient and the entire organization.
Given these turnaround efforts and the results she now helps her clients achieve, she has generated over $250M in financial improvements, as well as countless improvements in patient care and team experience.
She founded Optimize Healthcare so she and her team can help other practice leaders create the dream organization they deserve. Her signature Day Zero Blueprint™ program is transforming both the leaders and the organizations as they shift the belief that as a leader, they need to do it alone or sacrifice what is important to them.
Adrienne incorporates her training as a John Maxwell Certified Coach and Lean/Six Sigma Expert to provide program participants and audiences with time-saving strategies and templates so they, as leaders, can lean into their authentic style, engage and empower their teams, and optimize the processes around them so they can do more and make more, with ease.
She also loves spending time with her family and finding new adventures to learn and stay challenged.
