Recognized Expertise
Becca became a CEO at 39. She was a determined, no-nonsense kind of executive, unwavering in her path until two profound life events reshaped her definition of success. First, she faced public failure after dedicating two years to the Maryland Health Benefit Exchange, when the technology failed. As the CEO, she bore the responsibility. Still, she chose to view this setback as an invaluable learning opportunity, returning to the workforce with renewed determination as VP at the University of Maryland Medical System Health Plans. Then, in 2015, her journey took another turn with a brain tumor diagnosis and subsequent surgery. Expecting to return to her CEO ambitions swiftly, she instead experienced an epiphany. She realized the true value lay not in leading but in leveraging her boardroom expertise and deep understanding of executive stress to empower others. Now, as a certified executive coach, strategy partner, and CEO peer group facilitator, she is dedicated to guiding others on their path to greatness, combining her extensive experience with a passion for fostering growth and success.
