Leading executive Lois Quam at the U of M to discuss how she led the formation of a $25 billion business
Lois Quam, known as one of the most successful businesswomen of her generation, will speak at the Carlson School of Management’s First Tuesday Luncheon at 11:30 a.m. Tuesday, May 6, at the University of Minnesota’s McNamara Alumni Center, 200 Oak St. S.E., Minneapolis.
In her speech, “What I learned the year my company tripled in size Hitting $25 Billion,” Quam will discuss her experience leading the formation and growth of Ovations, a subsidiary of UnitedHealth Group.
Under Quam’s leadership, Ovations grew to offer the broadest set of Medicare products, while its Part D offering became the most successful new business launch in UnitedHealth Group’s history. As a growth-oriented executive, she quickly brought Ovations’ complex senior-focused businesses to scale and was recognized for developing innovative and effective responses to major health care challenges, as well as working effectively with government.
Quam recently brought her experience in growing companies to areas of high-growth potential at Piper Jaffray where she is responsible for developing new investment offerings and extending the firm’s global capabilities in the clean technology/renewables and health care sectors.
