Most of our guests at our Autonomous Health Podcast talk about novel insights about data, AI models, and applications. But in this episode, we’re going down a different path – learning about building high-performance AI teams in healthcare.

Have you wanted to build a high-performing AI team? Are you thinking about roles in the field? In this episode, we speak to Peg Olson and Abbie Turek, experienced recruiters who have been building technology and executive teams in this space for over three decades.

Peg and Abbie share their secrets for building high-performing AI teams, as well as common mistakes they’ve seen. They also go behind the scenes of executive hiring with what to look for in seasoned AI executives and talent-magnets. Finally, we talk about why AI requires a cross-functional collaborative approach with product management, clinical leaders, and engineers.

Our field is currently at the intersection of two contrasting trends. On one hand, late-stage healthcare investing is at the lowest it has been in six quarters, leading to a hiring market that favors employers over candidates. On the other hand, generative AI and LLMs have accelerated consumer and enterprise awareness, and valuations for companies in this sector are growing sky-high.

Listen to Peg and Abbie address both of these trends, and share their guidance for both employers and candidates.
