MEET ANGELA BROWN
On a Mission to Inspire and Empower
Angela Brown understands the connection between strong leadership, engaged teams, and high performance.
Fifteen years in healthcare and managed care insurance leadership, proved the perfect playground to hone her leadership expertise and teach her a thing or two about the power and effectiveness of personal leadership in driving performance and results, after rising from the ranks of hospital volunteer to the executive suite of one of the largest healthcare conglomerations in the country, leading the business development for two start-up managed care insurance companies.
Looking for a new challenge, she headed to off to start her own business and in just three short years created a multi-million wellness and direct sales enterprise, recruiting a team of over 1,700 representatives from the US, Canada and Puerto Rico.

She went on to take on an interim role as vice-president of sales and consultant for an Australian health and beauty company helping to recruit leadership and grow sales for their North American distribution channels.
