DGTL Voices with Ed Marx · Technology Done For You, Not To You (ft. Leigh Williams) · 20 Apr 2026 podcast

And I had a good colleague whom I knew from the legal arena who was an HR leader and recruited me over to the University of Mississippi Medical Center and basically had a role that was similar to what I had been doing in the legal field.

but that was in healthcare.

And I fell in love because every day is rewarding and you can see the impact of your work on the community.

And it was so much more than being in what felt to me like a job that was to serve individuals.

And healthcare feels like we've all got to lean in and help to fix it.

So it was really great to be recruited into that with, hey, I think you're really going to like this.

And I did instantly love it.

Oh, actually.

So I have always been capable in the technology arena.

I mean, we had like an Apple IIe when I was growing up.

And, you know, my dad, the professor, had all these things at the house.

But then when I got my first job at actually at the MIT Center for Information Systems Research at Sloan School, I was doing research.

It was like the 1996 and there were websites to be developed and PowerPoint was a thing.

And I was the young kid that knew how to do some of that stuff because we had done it in college.

But I didn't really get into technology leadership until after I had spent several years in healthcare on the revenue cycle side.

And then we went to do this thing called an EHR implementation.

And I wound up leading a lot of the technology efforts simply because I found I had a knack for being able to talk with operational partners and clinicians about how the technology was going to aid us in our operational work.

And quite frankly, I got a little frustrated with our IT colleagues because they were treating it like it was a software install.

And I was treating it more like, hey, this is an opportunity to really transform the way that we do our work.

So I wound up doing more and more what was considered IT work and finally decided that I really felt like that was my calling to be able to help and be a servant to all of the other operational areas as a technology leader.
