Tracy J. Edmonds Joins Lyn Health Board of Advisors
Lyn Health, a pioneering healthcare start-up focused on people with multiple chronic conditions, today announced the addition of Tracy J. Edmonds, former Chief Diversity Officer of Anthem, Inc., to its Board of Advisors.
Edmonds is the owner of TJE Coaching & Consulting, LLC, where she serves as an executive coach and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) consultant. She teaches her framework for mastering authenticity as the driver to creating successful careers, teams, and organizations. Prior to that time, she served as Chief Diversity Officer at Anthem, Inc., leading a combined team driving EEO/Affirmative Action compliance, as well as diversity and inclusion enterprise strategy, supporting 62K+ associates, contractors, and temporary staff.
"Lyn Health embraces diversity, equity and inclusion as foundational values for the future success of this company," said Rick Abbott, Founder and CEO of Lyn Health. "Tracy has spent her entire career ensuring that these principles are woven into the fabric of any company seeking to serve both its employees and customers, and there is no person more fitting to guide such efforts within Lyn as we fulfill our mission of healing lives together."
According to a Gallup study published in the Journal of Leadership and Organizational Studies, companies that had higher-than-average gender diversity and employee engagement also had 46% to 58% better financial performance than companies that were below the median on diversity and engagement.
"Companies that embrace DEI as a strategic imperative have consistently shown both improved employee experience and superior business results," said Edmonds. "To see an early-stage company like Lyn seeking to instill these values as part of its foundation is inspiring. I am honored to bring my experiences to Lyn to help guide its focus on leveraging DEI throughout its culture and products."
