ABOUT MARKITA J. BILLUPS
Markita is a dynamic operator and strategic advisor with 15+ years of experience turning vision into scalable, human-centered systems. With a career spanning startups, growth-stage companies, and national payers, she brings sharp operational instincts and a deep understanding of how to lead teams—and businesses—through transformation.As SVP of Operations at Oshi Health, Markita built the nation\'s first virtual, value-based GI clinic, growing operations from the ground up to a 50-state footprint. She scaled the team from 10 to 150+, led business, clinical, and people operations, and helped the company earn multiple Best Places to Work awards from Inc, Modern Health, and BuiltIn. But her impact goes beyond care delivery. Markita has consistently been the force behind sustainable infrastructure, cultural clarity, and strategic scale—whether the product is clinical, tech-enabled, or professional services.Her leadership journey also includes building novel care models at Vital Decisions (acquired by Evolent Health) and guiding statewide telehealth initiatives at Highmark Health. Across each role, she’s bridged the gap between strategy and execution—equally fluent in the language of clinicians, investors, and engineers.Now, as the founder of Blackbird Strategic Solutions, Markita partners with forward-thinking leaders—CEOs, founders, and investors—who are navigating growth, complexity, or reinvention. She brings a steady hand and a strategic lens to every engagement, offering fractional leadership, advisory services, and executive & leadership coaching rooted in precision, empathy, and results.Named one of Culture Amp’s Top 25 Emerging Culture Creators and nominated for Modern Healthcare\'s Emerging Leaders, Markita also serves on Temple University’s College of Public Health Alumni Board and teaches in the College of Health Professions at Thomas Jefferson University.She believes the most enduring businesses are the ones that lead with clarity, operate with care, and build with purpose. She’s always open to connecting with leaders building toward bold, thoughtful outcomes.
