Passionate Leader Driving Healthcare Transformation Through Data-Led Strategy and Agile Execution

This edition recognizes Shikha Bajaj, Founder of Own Your Color, for bringing this human perspective to the forefront of healthcare strategy and digital transformation.

Shikha Bajaj
Founder of Own Your Color
That question has shaped every strategy she has built, every team she has led, and every system she has transformed. As Founder of Own Your Color and a globally recognized leader in digital and healthcare transformation, including a 2025 Global Recognition Award, Shikha has built a career at the intersection of data, execution, and deeply human leadership. But what defines her work is not transformation for its own sake. It is transformation that feels human. Healthcare that listens. Systems that see people, not just patients.
Andrea Curry
Manager, Patient Reported Outcomes | Researcher | Educator | Author | Speaker
For Andrea Curry, that story started long before she became a respected researcher, educator, author, and healthcare leader. It began with family. While helping her uncle navigate a difficult cancer diagnosis, she witnessed firsthand the challenges patients face as they move through complex healthcare systems. The experience not only shaped her understanding of cancer care but also inspired a lifelong commitment to ensuring that patient voices are heard, valued, and represented in healthcare decision-making.
Patricia Faust
Gerontologist and Brain Health Specialist
In 2006, at an aging conference in Ohio, Patricia Faust stopped at a booth that would redirect the entire course of her professional life. Posit Science was releasing the Brain Fitness Program, and for the first time in a public forum, a scientific case was being made that the human brain could change. For Patricia, a gerontologist already alarmed by the trajectory of Alzheimer’s statistics, that moment was electric. She had found her life’s work. Nearly twenty years later, she stands as one of the most persistent and purposeful voices in the field of brain health and aging, a specialist who was educating before the world was ready to listen and who has never stopped pushing the conversation forward.
