ABOUT COLBY L.

You’ll find that I’ve spent my entire career thus far with one company. I started with Vendormate right out of college, which was a rapidly growing healthcare software start-up demanding flexibility, quick-thinking, leadership and so much more. Early on, I established myself as a subject matter expert in our software solution through implementing, training and supporting our valuable customers. I brought experience from my first role into my Product Management role; having worked directly with our customers, I passionately shared real-time customer feedback and helped to bring brand new software solutions to market in order to expand our portfolio of offerings. GHX acquired Vendormate in 2014, opening up a whole new world of possibilities and relationships I cherish to this day. My time as a Solutions Specialist forced me far out of my comfort zone and required the most focus, patience and growth I think I’ve experienced thus far. Partnering with our Sales representatives and the Sales organization molded me into a passionate partner to our sales team with my eye on the prize: work strategically with the Sales reps in order to grow opportunities and help our healthcare customers see maximized value in leveraging our solutions.Taking a leap of faith in leaving Sales and going into Marketing is my next challenge and I couldn’t be more excited about the opportunity. My career is only a part of what makes me who I am. Over the past several years (particularly after becoming a mother in 2022), I have come to realize how important it is to give myself time to reflect, invest in new and old hobbies, take care of my mental and physical health and try to never take each day I wake up for granted. In my opinion, doing all of those things (and also being a bit of an open book) makes me be a better employee and allows me to connect with my peers on a deeper level, ultimately leading to better work and more trust and respect from all parties.
