## Resource

Dr. Ashley Beecy is the Chief AI Officer at Sutter Health, a cardiologist, and a clinical informaticist. Before joining Sutter, she spent more than a decade at NewYork-Presbyterian and Weill Cornell Medicine, most recently as Medical Director of AI Operations. Her path into medicine took a less common route: she started as a computer systems engineer at IBM, then spent eight years at Citi in operational risk and product management before going to medical school while still working in finance. In this episode of DGTL Voices, Ashley sits down with Ed to talk about what it takes to build an applied AI function inside a major health system. She walks through the three pillars guiding her work at Sutter, why organizational readiness matters as much as the technology itself, and the discipline required to scope and prioritize when the AI news cycle creates a constant pull toward urgency. Plus the seventh-grade math teacher who shaped her trajectory, the mantra her dad gave her about Brinks trucks and funeral processions, and why she defines success today by what teams achieve together rather than individual metrics. https://marxadvisory.com
