Hayley Hovious did not follow an orthodox path to becoming president of the Nashville Health Care Council.
She began her self-described most fun career ever as a ski instructor following her graduation from Smith College. After deciding she no longer desired to pursue a career in hotel management, Hovious enrolled in Vanderbilt University Owen Graduate School of Management in Nashville, her hometown.
From there, she interned at Mattel, where she worked on the Hot Wheels® brand, and E. & J. Gallo Winery, a company based in central California where she marketed sparkling wine brands. Through these experiences, Hovious attained an understanding for how consumers think and shop, which has carried through to her work in healthcare as she tries to help leaders understand what patients expect out of their various care journeys.
