A key moment that kickstarted our MBA and HIF journey was meeting each other at the National Black MBA Conference. As we ran around from meeting to meeting, talking to various healthcare companies, we ended up in the same conversation multiple times. It became clear that we had similar thoughts about the industry, and the conversation evolved to how we wanted to create impact in healthcare, within and outside of McCombs.

From there, we started working closely together, especially through our own recruiting process. We learned a lot along the way: what works, what doesn’t, and how much easier it is when you don’t navigate it alone. That experience is exactly what we want to pass on. Our first commitment to you is to help you land where you want to be, whether that’s a health system, a biotech, a digital health startup, or something you’re still figuring out. We’ve been in your shoes, and we’re here to make that journey less daunting.

Beyond recruiting, we also want to grow the healthcare community here in Austin and across UT. The more people we bring together – clinicians, operators, investors, policy strategists, and especially those curious about making an impact in healthcare – the richer this experience becomes for everyone.
Welcome! We’re glad you’re here, and we can’t wait to keep building this community with you.

Hook’em,
