Building the next generation of health care leaders and organizations, in an increasingly complex and uncertain environment, is an awesome challenge and privilege that will have a lasting impact on patients’ lives and the world economy.
Before joining Egon Zehnder, Alyse was an Associate Principal at McKinsey & Company, where she helped clients solve business and organizational challenges. Prior to that, she was a Senior Principal in IMS Consulting’s North American practice, where she helped double the practice and build the team, and a Managing Director at a boutique health consultancy. Earlier, Alyse worked at Vector Securities, advising biotech, diagnostics, and medical device companies on M&A transactions and capital structure. She launched her career working for a United States Senator, covering health policy and legislative priorities.
Alyse earned a BA in American Studies from Yale, and a Master of Public Affairs (MPAff) from the Lyndon B.
