ABOUT KELLY TANGNEY
Hello! I\'m Kelly — a genetics strategy and solutions leader with deep roots in clinical operations, care model design, and scalable genomic programs. I\'ve spent my career at the intersection of genetics, healthcare systems, and commercial growth, and I\'m now bringing that expertise to Quest Diagnostics as Director, Genetics Strategy & Solutions for the West Region. My work centers on making genetics clinically meaningful, operationally sound, and financially sustainable for patients, providers, health systems, and health plans alike.My impact & leadership scope: Scaled a national, tech-enabled virtual care model for oncology and genetics by 250%, delivering 500K+ results and 35K+ patient visits across a 50-state network while sustaining 95%+ patient satisfaction and 48-hour access SLAs. Owned end-to-end clinical operations portfolios—making tradeoffs across scale, access, and quality from strategy and pilots through national rollout—partnering with Product, Engineering, Sales, and Commercial leaders. Built and scaled the NIH All of Us Genetic Counseling Resource to $4M+ in revenue, returning 300K+ results and delivering 5K+ sessions, aligned with IRB, FDA, CLIA, and CAP requirements. Led workforce planning and capacity forecasting for distributed, licensed clinical teams (5–12+ clinicians at a time), improving operational efficiency 25% and generating $500K+ in annual cost savings. Influenced executive investment and care adoption by translating clinical data into product strategy, GTM insights, and operational decisions, increasing patient and customer adoption 10%.Core focus & operating context:Genetics Strategy & Solutions | Genomic Testing Access | Commercial Strategy & Partnerships | Health Plan Engagement | Women\'s Health | Oncology | Clinical Operations | Value-Based Contracts | Care Model Design | Cross-Functional Execution | HealthTech & Digital Health | High-Growth, Scaling EnvironmentsHow I work:I\'m brought in when genetics programs need to grow smarter — when the clinical value is clear but the strategy, partnerships, and systems to sustain it aren\'t fully in place. I bridge clinical expertise, commercial thinking, and operational rigor to help health systems, plans, and providers unlock the full potential of genetic testing — responsibly, sustainably, and at scale.On weekends, you can find me: At the soccer field or dance shows cheering on my kids🥑 Whipping up healthy and creative recipes in the kitchen Taking a Peloton class, preferably with throw-back tunes Message me if you\'d like to partner together!
