Name: Kim McPherson | Business/Profession: Founder & CEO, Perspective Healthcare Solutions

Please share a little about your background, personally and/or professionally.

I have previously mentored and led mentor circles for the Women’s Leadership Network, and I am a current mentor for Women Achieve. I have been an entrepreneur since 2016. I am passionate about helping women become successful entrepreneurs. I love to cook and bake.

Please share more about your current position and place of work. How have you grown professionally/personally in this role?

I started Perspective Healthcare Solutions this year. My goal is to help hospitals and clinics be profitable so they can continue to serve their community. We do this by providing data analysis, strategy, and solutions that create profitability within the healthcare organization. We have incorporated AI technology into our analysis which has been a game changer. I have grown professionally in learning to pivot and personally, I have learned to never give up.

What drew you to being a mentor for an entrepreneurial group curated for non-men? How has being a woman or non-binary individual impacted your professional journey?

Being a woman entrepreneur comes with many challenges. I do believe as a woman it is harder to be successful and grow a business, especially in healthcare. I believe there is a misconception that women aren’t as intelligent as men in a male-dominated industry on the executive level. Relying on my passion and strengths helps me stand out and that has been a huge blessing. I make sure that the individuals I am conversing with know I know what I am talking about.

What are three things you enjoy doing outside of work?

Cooking and Baking, Shopping, and Writing.

What is your go-to piece of advice for professionals, entrepreneurs, or anyone looking to you for guidance?

Build a referral network. I have the BEST referral partners I could imagine, and I have nurtured those relationships which has created opportunities. It’s an extended sales force every entrepreneur must have. Each entrepreneur needs a toolbox and referral partners are a must-have.

What is a professional achievement that you are most proud of, and why are you proud of it?

I have never given up on being an entrepreneur and getting accepted into the ACTIVE Program.
