Networking Is Not a Bad Word - Bunny Ellerin, CEO and Co-founder, NYC Health Business Leaders

Even though Bunny Ellerin has built a career around bringing people and organizations together -- in fact she's known as "the most connected person in healthcare" -- she still gets apprehensive walking into a room full of business leaders she may not know. While acknowledging that networking is scary for many people, and seen as too transactional for others, she wants her students at Columbia Business School and people in healthcare professions to understand that it's not just about handing out business cards at events. Reaching out with an article recommendation or proactively connecting people who you think would benefit from knowing each other is also "networking". Check out this episode of Raise the Line to find out how, as co-founder and CEO of New York City Health Business Leaders, Ellerin has used this approach to spur innovation in healthcare and help build a thriving digital health scene in New York.
