About Marion Zabinski Handler

I have spent the last 20 years working in various positions at the intersection of health and technology, with a particular focus on health promotion and sustainable behavior change. My diverse roles have given me broad perspective on digital health stakeholders and user needs, which has evolved into a passion for strategic thinking centered around how to leverage evidence-based science to create action-oriented products and programs that promote behavior change in support of better health. Throughout my career, I have had the opportunity to work on all aspects of product development: from overall design and evaluation to cross-functional collaboration with engineering teams to enhancing UI for optimal user engagement to driving key deliverables and coordinating complex workstreams across internal business units. These experiences have allowed me to grow in different ways, and I have found that I am most drawn to complex problems that require strategic thinking and partnership. Healthcare is extremely complex and in desperate need of attention to effectively support and improve outcomes for meaningful impact.
