Before Medallia, she was Chief of People and Culture for the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, a special COVID-19 appointment to join the leadership team to support human-centered modernization efforts with the Office of Digital Transformation.
Nina was a White House Presidential Innovation Fellow with the National Cancer Institute and the IT Modernization Centers of Excellence. She designed and managed public-private consulting projects for equitable artificial intelligence at the intersection of patient experience, employee experience, and digital health service delivery. This role involved forging partnerships in community advocacy groups, industry, and across the National Institutes of Health, and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services ecosystem.
She also cofounded and was CEO of The Work Department, a social impact consulting firm that focused on building equity in the public service arena. There she created a strategic planning method that combined human-centered design and business to build long-term relationships between public beneficiaries and entities like government, philanthropy, and nonprofits.
