PEOPLE I’VE WORKED WITH
JOSEPH SWEDISH, FORMER CEO ANTHEM, INC.
Tracy was the leader I chose to work alongside me guiding a national corporation to achieve D&I expectations. During our time together, I admired Tracy as an expert and thought leader in diversity, equity, and inclusion.
She’s authentic, passionate, committed and totally dedicated in her belief in her work as a change agent.
Her honest style and approachability position her as a great partner for executives and leaders who are serious about driving change. Tracy’s advice and consultation to me, the board, and leadership made our organization better in every dimension.
BRADLEY SOTO, FURTUNE 20 HEALTHCARE EXECUTIVE
Tracy’s approach to complex human capital issues in the area of inclusion, her business savvy and honest counsel (including challenging the status quo for the right reasons) allow for the organizations that she works in to obtain the highest possible return on their most valuable investment – their people.
CRAIG SAMITT, PRESIDENT & CEO, BCBSMN & STELLA
I had the pleasure of working with Tracy in her role as Chief Diversity Officer at Anthem. She drove significant progress advancing Anthem’s DEI strategy, and I found her tenacious, experienced, and persuasive in framing out the imperative for change and assuring progress was made in achieving DEI goals. Tracy was a driven executive, a collaborative partner, and an influential presenter with colleagues, the executive leadership team, and the Board of Directors. I’d recommend her strongly as DEI leader, advisor, and consultant.
