This episode we speak with Ron Zionpour, Chief Technology Officer, Healthee. At six years old, he never dreamed of becoming a CTO. He grew up in the 90’s taking apart old radios and flashlights to reassemble them into something more useful, inspired by his father's electronics work and driven by an innate desire to solve problems and create. When his love of math and science led him to computer science in college, he started at a large corporation but quickly left for an early-stage tech startup. Listen how he spent eight and a half years growing from junior developer to VP of Engineering, discovered he loved leading people more than writing code but stayed obsessed with technical details and knowing the platform better than anyone. As well as landing at Healthee to help people navigate the confusing U.S. healthcare system by turning complex benefits information into clear, actionable insights through AI built on rock-solid data foundations.

Welcome back to an all new season of My Career in Data – a DATAVERSITY Talks podcast where we sit down with professionals to discuss how they have built their careers around data.

This episode we speak with Macie Minier, Director of Strategy and Evaluation, Coburn Place Safe Haven. She never imagined working with data on a macro level. Growing up watching her social worker mother, she assumed social work meant directly helping people face-to-face, starting as a case manager at a domestic violence emergency shelter realizing that is not always the case working with survivors brought in from police departments and hospitals. While she loved the interpersonal connection, she kept facing the same systemic problems beyond individual cases, so she stayed vocal with supervisors about trends and persistently offered to tackle administrative work until she transitioned into program analysis. Listen to how as Director of Strategy and Evaluation at Coburn Place, a domestic violence safe haven, handles data governance, grant reporting, strategic planning, and KPIs across the entire organization and learning that her biggest challenge wasn't analytical ability but communication.
