Her Interview
Ten minutes with Madeleine
01What do you attribute your success to?
I attribute my success to preparation, ownership, and a genuine commitment to growth. Throughout my career, I’ve focused on developing strong technical and leadership skills, which has allowed me to step into responsibility with confidence and perspective. My background in Information Technology Management has shaped how I approach challenges analytically, but leadership has also shown me that systems and strategy only work when people feel supported and valued. I’ve been fortunate to learn through mentors, real-world challenges, and opportunities that when you combine structure with genuine care for people, meaningful results tend to follow.
02What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?
When you step forward with discipline and a willingness to learn, momentum builds naturally. Growth rarely happens under perfect conditions, and waiting for certainty can delay opportunity. I’ve learned that confidence is built through responsibility, preparation, and consistent follow-through.
03What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
My biggest advice is to stay curious and keep building your skills. Healthcare and wellness are evolving quickly, and having an understanding of both the people side of the work and the systems behind it will set you apart. Technology, data, and operational systems are playing a bigger role than ever in how care is delivered and measured. At the same time, don’t feel like you need to have everything figured out right away. Focus on learning, being reliable, and taking ownership of your work. Over time, those habits build trust, and that trust opens the door to greater responsibility and leadership opportunities.
04What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?
One of the biggest opportunities in healthcare and wellness is meaningful integration, bringing together clinical care, technology, and supportive services in ways that improve outcomes and the overall client experience. From my experience working in healthcare operations and wellness settings, I’ve seen how powerful that alignment can be when it’s done well. As the field continues to evolve, leaders who prioritize structure, data, and accountability will play an important role in shaping the future of high-quality care.
05What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
Integrity, accountability, and growth are values that guide both my work and personal life. I believe in doing things the right way, even when it takes more discipline, patience, or consistency. Follow-through is important to me because trust is built over time through actions, not just intentions. I also value continuous learning and personal growth, both for myself and the people around me. Whether I’m leading a team or contributing to my community, I try to approach everything with responsibility, care, and a long-term mindset.
