Adarsh Patel

Senior Digital Marketing Manager

PIECING TOGETHER THE PUZZLE

Build up the experience to tackle industry challenges

Senior Digital Marketing Manager Adarsh Patel collaborates with colleagues to stitch together big-picture success through a high-altitude lens on marketing strategy. Pivotal to his current success was Patel’s first GoHealth role, which was tactical and execution oriented, which allowed him to gain an inside-out knowledge of the company and its customers. And through it all, Patel knows who he can turn to for support. “We are a strong believer that success is driven by empowerment,” Patel said. “My managers or leadership have always been available to coach and guide me on any initiatives.”

We are fortunate to have smart people across the marketing team, and allowing them to look at problems through a different lens is a big part of why we are successful.

BEDROCK OF SUCCESS

Achieve goals while also prioritizing the team

Sales Strategy Manager Amanda Mordacq wants her team to be fulfilled through work that encourages development — and, with what Mordacq called “a ton of exciting enhancements to our technology” on the horizon, the chance to do so sound ample. To Mordacq, it’s important to know colleagues at a deeper level, pointing to daily team check-ins, “coffee walks” and events as ways her team strengthens its ties. “This contributes to a high level of comfort and confidence in one another and provides space for team members to be honest about their work and life goals, concerns and roadblocks,” she said.

My vision as a sales strategy manager is to empower my team to grow by providing them opportunities to lead initiatives that align with their professional goals.

VP of Product Management

CLARIFYING THE COMPLEX

Simplify a complicated-yet-crucial process

Shopping for health insurance is complicated. That’s why Nagini Indugula and her peers at GoHealth aim to demystify insurance plans and benefits with an easy-to-navigate marketplace. This mission to improve access to healthcare is what drew Indugula to the company, and it’s what her team strives toward accomplishing each day, whether that involves data analysis or automation. She said her team’s current projects will enable the company to optimize plan recommendations and personalize the shopping and enrollment experience.

One of my favorite things about GoHealth is the people I interact with on a day-to-day basis. Every conversation I have is so thoughtful and invigorating, and it really helps me stay motivated.
