7yThank you for sharing this review, and I'm encouraged to hear that the first few months have been positive for you. Work-life balance really does matter, and we are working hard to improve in this area -- and I believe we need to improve here. I see evidence of team members being significantly stretched, and while we appreciate the commitment to the company, we recognize the importance of the pace being sustainable. We'll keep a focus here. Also, I recognize that we do have a lot of meetings -- and I am the source of several of those meetings. I require our leadership team to meet every week for 3-4 hours, and then we meet every week on Monday evenings for a report-out with the ELT, and then we hold ATM meetings every other week with everyone. There is downside to every strategy, and that applies to us. But the upside, to me, of the time spent in these settings is that it allows for significant transparency of communication, it enables a great deal of two-way dialogue, which then drives towards alignment and commitment. But we have to keep things in balance, so as not to contribute to other challenges, including to work-life balance. So we'll keep an eye on this as well. And, finally, I appreciate your advice, and feel long-term committed to keep the team members and their experience as my #1 long-term priority as CEO, and our leadership team feels the same way. Thank you for joining Health Catalyst and for choosing to contribute to the company's mission every day!
