Meet Ivelyse Andino Ivelyse Andino is an Afro-Latina health equity innovator born and raised in The Bronx. She is the founder and CEO of Radical Health and a Commissioner on the New York City Commission on Gender Equity. In 2015 she founded the first Latina owned Public Benefit Corp in New York State. Ivelyse enjoyed a fledgling career in health tech, pioneering some of its first digital health solutions, including bringing the first mobile app prescribing platform to market and working with global clients such as National Health Service (NHS London) and Kaiser Permanente. While she routinely trained oncologists on new drugs, she found herself unprepared when her mother was diagnosed with cancer. This forced her to directly and intimately confront the systemic healthcare disparities she knew existed. In founding Radical Health — the first Latina-owned and operated Benefit Corp in NYS — she has sought to combine her expertise in healthcare and her passion as a community organizer. Coming from a historically marginalized community herself, it was important for Ivelyse to initially build Radical Health by bringing together her neighbors around her kitchen table and hearing first-hand from voices — including the undocumented, women of color, elderly, young people, and LGBTQ — who are otherwise (figuratively and) literally never given a seat at the table to have a say in their own healthcare destiny. Through Radical Health, Ivelyse is committed to the task of transforming healthcare by facilitating health literacy and self-advocacy, as well as forging a relationship between meaningful face-to-face conversations with cutting-edge technology.

Natalie Johnson’s Mission: Transforming Workplace Culture for Resilient and High-Performing Teams The world of work has changed. Technological advances have surpassed our ability to adapt and the way we work is less predictable and more flexible. As work continues to change, it’s imperative for workplace culture to update with these changes. People need to elevate, manage and protect their own energy.

Natalie had a unique experience of starting her career working in sport performance. Her role was to support athletes in maintaining their highest level of performance while their environment was constantly changing and even crumbling. She realized quickly that sport performance strategies are applicable to everyone. She transitioned to working in academics and continued her education while transitioning into healthcare and ultimately working with corporations to create healthy people and companies. Today, Natalie uses all her experiences to create the work conditions necessary so people can function at full capacity while creating and nurturing intentional culture. Natalie recognizes that culture is a broad term that is often not defined well. To maximize her keynotes she shares a clear definition of what culture is and uses her time to help people solve culture issues that exist or optimize culture as they face change. Her keynotes inspire audiences while empowering them with tools, language and skills they use in real time together. Some of the most common culture problems she addresses include: Employees who are overwhelmed and struggle with work and life integration High turnover rates Drama, friction, poor communication and lack of trust on teams Leaders who are overwhelmed and under skilled Natalie has a bachelor’s degree in Nutrition and Exercise Physiology from Florida State University and a Masters Degree in Wellness Promotion from the California College for Health Sciences.
