Simone Atungo

CEO, Vibrant Healthcare Alliance

Simone Atungo has more than 30 years of experience working in the public sector and community-based not for profit organizations. She is currently the CEO of Vibrant Healthcare Alliance, an organization committed to meet the needs of the community by delivering a high quality of innovative health and social care programs that include primary healthcare services, health promotion and prevention programs, attendant care, personal support and community development initiatives. She has previously held senior leadership roles at Toronto Community Housing and Mount Sinai Hospital.

Simone is a strategic, innovative and visionary leader, transformational change-agent with political acuity and a robust record of success within the Healthcare and Social Services Sectors, and here are three takeaways:

  • It is important to work hard, but it is equally important to work smart. Know your priorities and establish your boundaries
  • Understand that racism exists in our structures and policies and as leaders, it is our role to help uncover some of these issues
  • Some people will not like you just because of who you are. Let it be and surround yourself with people who encourage you to be the best you can be.
