Prior to joining Emory, she advised early stage companies on tech-enabled care for seniors, digital vaccines, and virtual care platforms. Globally, she has worked across five continents to deploy data and technology in expanding access to care, addressing supply chain challenges, and systematically tackling health inequity. Monique is an innovation leader passionate about cross market solutions that drive equitable tech enabled care.
