Healthcare is entering an era of extraordinary transformation, driven by AI, shifting business models, changing customer expectations, and industry convergence. For today’s leaders, the challenge goes beyond adapting to change. It requires questioning long-held assumptions and the definitions of success that brought us here.

Drawing on her global healthcare operating experience, enterprise transformations, and corporate board service, Cindy will share why the future belongs to leaders who recognize change, connect the dots, and reinvent the playbook — and themselves. Governance is a throughline: providing the foresight, judgment, and accountability when the rules change.

Join WBL Founder and Board Chair Lynn Shapiro Snyder and WBL CEO Eleanor Rosiak as they welcome attendees to the Summit, provide updates on our organization, and share what they are looking forward to during our time in San Diego.
