About Naomi Remis Sugar
With over two decades of experience as an accomplished leader in healthcare, I specialize in developing and implementing innovative programs that demonstrably improve access and outcomes for women and underserved populations globally. My expertise spans strategic partnerships, program design, operations, implementation, and evaluation. At AIVF, I led strategic partnerships, market entry, and sales efforts in the US and LATAM, focusing on delivering AI-powered solutions that enhance IVF lab efficiency and efficacy. At the Blue Cross Blue Shield Association I served as Interim Leader of the Strategic Executions and Partnerships team, driving strategic alignment, and advancing high-impact initiatives in maternal health, healthy communities, youth mental health, and research governance and analytics.In addition to my industry work, I co-directed the Global Health Concentration at Northwestern University\'s Graduate Program in Public Health, earning the 2024 Outstanding Educator in Global Health Award. My previous roles include Vice President of Programs at the Public Health Institute of Metropolitan Chicago, where I led data-driven interventions and secured funding for public health initiatives statewide. As Program Director at Project Sunshine, I launched the first global health satellite in Mombasa, Kenya, significantly increasing pediatric HIV care, and strategically expanded its global health initiatives to China, Israel, and Canada, benefitting over children and securing 25% of the organization\'s $3M operating budget.
