Laura Elisa Montealegre

Principal, Digital & Technology

Customer Centricity Wins

Real World Impact

For Laura, it’s not the most thrilling tech that brings her joy — but the most impactful. “What I find most rewarding is working together with my global team to release tangible products that our users value and adopt every few months,” she said. One of the projects she has found most fulfilling is a complex multi-brand endeavor that empowers clients to transform their data environment to drive scalable analytics across their organization. “The impact would be reduced time to market and reduced cost to federate data across our client’s ecosystem,” she told Built In.

We are in a world where digital and data literacy are critical to an organization’s success and strategy. It’s not what technology clients use that differentiates but how we empower them with tools to extract value.

Vidya Viswanathan

Director, Digital Products & Solutions

Nothing Is Impossible

Disrupting the Status Quo

When Vidya looks at the modern healthcare landscape, she sees an opportunity for disruption. “Digital has shown us so far that nothing is impossible — we can solve problems that we have learned to accept as status quo,” Vidya said. She imagines a world where healthcare can be a seamless experience, powered by design, tech and data that ZS brings together. “Through data unlocking and building intelligence on it, we can solve for the foundational access challenges from outdated tech and data silos — effectively defragmenting the space and creating true impact,” she added.

Our aim is not to just push out another digital product into the already crowded space and earn some market share — it’s to help patients and providers access therapies with ease.

Andre Elder

Chief Information Security Officer

Data Is the Foundation

Cybersecurity at the Forefront

As an Air Force and National Security Agency veteran, Andre is bringing cybersecurity to the forefront of ZS’s efforts. “We can’t do our jobs and service our clients successfully without security — data is at the foundation of everything we do,” Andre said. At ZS, Andre has been given the space to flex his rich background in cybersecurity and military intelligence. “Being in a security function, we aren’t in a space with a lot of autonomy, but working here affords me the opportunity to make the case on why specific risks are important, then proceed to build capabilities that reduce risk.”

The autonomy I have at ZS provides the necessary support to the business, ensuring strategic goals and objectives are obtained.
