This space was originally started to go deep on the teachings I post about. But, at times my posts or videos on LinkedIn (or even the free skool modules you can access) are already deep enough!

It’s time to shoutout people I’m working with. Today’s one of those moments.

Two operators I’d bet on

Operator #1 - Senior Strategic Communications Leader

What they’re known for

  • Turning complex digital policy and transformation work into clear, executive-ready narratives

  • Leading high-stakes communications for global initiatives under tight timelines

  • Building and running cross-functional creative teams under senior leadership scrutiny

Signature wins

  • Owned narrative and communications strategy for 20+ flagship knowledge products for USAID and Prosper Africa

  • Led communications for $2–$4M global events including Lagos Fashion Week and the Summer Fancy Food Show

The seat they’re targeting
Senior communications, narrative, or digital strategy leadership roles inside mission-driven, global, or transformation-focused organizations.

Why I’m backing
The person you bring in when the message actually matters…executive audiences, global stakeholders, and zero margin for error.

Operator #2 - Senior Healthcare Project Manager

What they’re known for

  • Leading large-scale, cross-functional healthcare transformations spanning clinical, financial, and technology teams

  • Turning broken patient access, revenue cycle, and pharmacy operations into scalable, compliant systems

  • Operating at the intersection of strategy, execution, and policy in highly regulated environments

Signature wins

  • Drove ~5% annual net revenue growth (~$20M+) by integrating AI-driven EIQ software with Epic, Cerner, and 3M EHRs to improve DRG validation and claims quality

  • Led national-scale execution of a major healthcare system’s Pharmacy Care Reimagined PBM model, impacting 3.5M+ members and earning the company’s highest Mission & Values award

The seat he’s targeting
Senior program, transformation, or operations leadership roles inside health systems, payers, or healthcare services organizations driving enterprise-scale change.

Why I’m backing
He’s the person you trust when patient outcomes, regulatory risk, and financial performance are all on the line and the work has to land.

One question to gut check the job search: “Did you really give that interview your all?”

Before you leave…

There’s a corner of LinkedIn waiting for you to engage with them. Visibility is everything as you get started. Once you get out there, your network starts to compound. For example...

A client texted me this week…

“I just got off the phone with a connection from the design world… she told her old boss about me at a company that I’m interested in and he was interested in talking. Cool to see the connection ladder you talk about actually happen”

Don’t lose out on these moments 🤝

Ps…. this ad is genuinely true, I have a SWE in Hungary talking with Deel about a new role.
