Carina Edwards, CEO of Kipu Health | Leading with F(r)amily and Purpose

Join us in the BreakLine Arena as we sit down with Carina Edwards, CEO of Kipu Health, for a wide-ranging and deeply personal conversation about leadership, innovation, and the power of building intentional community—what she calls f(r)amily.

Carina shares insights from her remarkable 30-year career across the private and public sectors and opens up about what drew her to Kipu Health’s mission of transforming behavioral healthcare in the U.S. We dive into the growing demand for mental health and substance use treatment, the evolution of telehealth, and how AI is shaping the future of patient-centered care.

As a natural introvert in a highly people-facing role, Carina offers thoughtful leadership advice and reflections on embracing career pivots, building emotional connection to your work, and creating inclusive environments where clarity, culture, and feedback are prioritized.

Whether you’re navigating your transition or leading through change, this conversation will leave you energized, inspired, and grounded in purpose.
