Background

About Amie Deak

I am a Senior Advisor at IA who came to HR and business transformation after 20 years in the healthcare industry. I am a licensed clinical social worker and I have a master’s in health administration. As both a clinician and administrator, I have been a liaison between major healthcare organizations and the communities they serve, planned long-term strategic initiatives, and led large multidisciplinary teams.When the country shut down from COVID in 2020, I took a hiatus from IA to start a home care business in Central Florida allowing me to serve my “home" community during the pandemic. I sold that business and came back to IA with a first-hand understanding of how to run and grow a business from the ground up. I wore every hat - running payroll, hiring and retaining employees, onboarding, and orientation, and optimizing technology and processes.I have an extensive background in communication and relationship building, conflict resolution, and empowering people with the information necessary to make difficult decisions. This, coupled with my experience in working within a franchised system, puts me in a unique situation to help businesses transform.I am a change agent; my expertise in human behavior and my ability to engage and motivate people have led to my ability to inspire teams to achieve shared goals.
