  • The Importance of Mentorship, Personal Branding and the Collective Voice - Episode 3
    Jun 15 2025

    In this month’s episode, we sit down with Mike Mosquito, one of the most influential voices in healthcare IT, a leader whose impact spans Northeast Georgia Health System, HIMSS, The Buzz podcast, and beyond. From Air Force service to executive leadership, he shares the journey that shaped his brand, leadership style, and passion for digital transformation.

    We explore his “aha” moment that confirmed healthcare IT was the right fit, the lessons he carried from military service into the boardroom, and how he instills those principles in his team today.

    The conversation shifts to a timely and necessary topic: equity and representation in health IT leadership. With the percentage of African American health information leaders declining, he shares candid thoughts on how the industry must evolve to attract and retain diverse talent, and the advice he would give his younger self and the next generation of African American healthcare executives.

    This episode is a must-listen for current and aspiring leaders who want to build an authentic personal brand, lead with purpose, and drive meaningful change in healthcare.
