Startups in Stilettos Demystifying the Health Insurance Industry with Dr. Noor Ali
“Show up dressed as your next level self. So, whoever that ‘her’ is that you're projecting—whether that's five years or 10 years—show up as her. Embodying her, not just dressed as her… Proving to yourself like, ‘Hey, I just did it 10 years before I thought that I could do it.’”
When Dr. Noor Ali moved back to the US after completing her medical training and starting her career as a surgeon in Bangladesh, she found herself unable to continue practicing medicine—and she felt like she’d completely lost her identity. Nearly a decade later, Noor has pivoted her career from medicine to health insurance expert, leading her own consulting practice in Tampa, Florida. Drawing upon her medical education and training, Noor dedicates herself to empowering female founders by demystifying health insurance and guiding them through the complexities of the industry. By connecting her clients with accessible and effective plans that work for their unique lives and businesses, she ensures that they feel secure and confident in their coverage. Tune in and hear how Noor remains committed to her medical roots despite her busy schedule and why she prioritizes volunteering her time and services any chance she gets.
