Anu Sharma
Founder + CEO
Millie
Currently as Founder & CEO at Millie, I am working on building a better maternity care model for American mothers & birthing people. Previously I was a founding executive at Burd Health, building the next generation of health benefits for self-insured employers. Prior to Burd Health, I was a Principal at Booz & Company where I led complex engagements with National & Blue health plans and major US health systems in the areas of strategy, M&A, and cost transformations. Among other engagements, I was the program lead for the creation of the 3rd largest US health insurer and for a politically complex 4-way health system integration.
Q: What motivates you to continue working towards change each day?
A: The inspiration for Millie is deeply personal -- it was inspired by a near-miss following the birth of my daughter when the current health system failed me. Millie exists because I know we can build a better model.
