Initiative Leadership

The SMU Cox Healthcare Leadership Development Initiative is led by a key group of stakeholders, fueled by passion around this endeavor. Knowing that the healthcare industry, locally and nationally, is seeking development opportunities for its leaders, we aim to feel that need. Leaders are yearning to round-out their roles with soft skills alongside the hard skills they learned in their medical training. This initiative aims to be the avenue for healthcare leaders looking to level up. Our leadership includes: 

Matthew Myers, Dean, Cox School of Business

Shane Goodwin, Professor of Practice and Associate Dean, Executive Education and Graduate Programs

Lisa Tran, Managing Director, Corporate Engagement and Strategic Partnerships

Vishal Ahuja, Academic Director, Healthcare Leadership Development Initiative at SMU Cox Executive Education; Associate Professor of Information Technology and Operations Management at SMU Cox; Adjunct Faculty at UT Southwestern Medical Center

Brian Tyler, CEO at McKesson, Healthcare Leadership Development Initiative Co-Chair

Barclay Berdan, CEO at Texas Health Resources, Healthcare Leadership Development Initiative Co-Chair
