About Bernadette Rodriguez

An accomplished and highly skilled professional with 20+ years of success developing and executing change management initiatives and growth strategies for large and complex health care organizations. I possess exceptional job relevant knowledge and have proven achievement of results amidst uncertainty and challenges. I build strong relationships and bring teams together to make them greater than the sum of their parts. I take the time to create personal connections with openness, authenticity, and a genuine appreciation of others and the unique contributions that everyone brings to the table. I am a strong communicator who not only enjoys speaking up but also takes the time to make sure that the voices of others are heard. I bring these two strengths together– communication and relationship building – to make things happen and get things done! My passion is my family and building a life full of memorable moments of connection, joy, and purpose. As the eldest of seven children from immigrant parents I wholeheartedly appreciate the value of hard work as well as the importance of family, well-being, and compassion for others. My most cherished role is being a mother of three young boys and all that comes with nurturing their healthy growth and development. Let’s talk if you are looking for a compassionate and empathetic leader who is also effective, driven, and gets results!
