Erika Cruz – Director of HR, St. Joseph Health (now Providence Health & Services)
“Tanya was brought in to help manage all aspects related to talent and organization effectiveness for an initiative consisting of 30+ projects, in an effort to achieve $500M savings over 3 years. The existing management structure was such that each hospital operated independently and had free reign to do whatever they wanted for their individual hospital. It was a very difficult project with numerous parties and different objectives. Tanya was very mindful and attentive of varying stakeholders’ needs, some of which often times conflicted with each other.
Under Tanya’s leadership, she was able to understand and resolve numerous competing business issues, bring different people and mindsets together and collaborate efficiently. With Tanya’s professionalism and collaboration, we successfully operated as one, unified system of care that included all the hospitals and healthcare systems. I would welcome the opportunity to work with Tanya since I know she will collaborate with everyone.”
