Care That Starts
With Grandma.

Smart, strategic, delivers the goods. That is really all one needs to know.

Angela is a true big-picture thinker — someone who can see where an organization needs to go, bring clarity to complex challenges, and inspire others to move forward with confidence. Her leadership is strong, steady, and deeply motivating.

Angela remains highly engaged with us here at the University of Pittsburgh, most notably through her role as a major stakeholder for the Department of Health Policy and Management. Angela leverages her invaluable industry knowledge through teaching graduate-level courses, hosting students for residency opportunities, and providing career mentoring. We could not ask for a better health industry partner.

She leads with heart, always keeping the mission in focus: to make the world a better, healthier place for everyone — especially for our most vulnerable. Angela exemplifies doing the right thing for the right reason. She is a leader who leaves a lasting mark — on her teams, her organization, and the world around her.

From the moment I met her, I knew she was both a force of nature and an agent of positive change. She leads by example, has impeccable composure, and embodies grace under pressure. Angela is direct and challenges those around her to bring their best to every effort.

Angela is an exceptional leader who consistently demonstrates a deep commitment to excellence and innovation in the healthcare industry. Her vision, dedication, and ability to drive results make her an outstanding professional and a trusted leader.

Angela sparked my interest in health insurance careers and expertly taught the ins and outs of a healthcare system transformed by public policy change. She cares deeply about cultivating the next generation of health care leaders — and without her guidance and encouragement, I can confidently say I would not be where I am today.

Her knowledge of Medicare and Medicare Advantage is truly amazing, as is her keen understanding of population health. She is the ultimate professional, educator, and leader — as well as a trusted colleague and friend.

Professor Perri is an exceptional educator who brings a wealth of knowledge and passion to her teaching. Her ability to explain complex concepts about health plans in an understandable and engaging manner is truly remarkable. Her dedication to her students, both in and out of the classroom, is inspiring.

Angela works with excellence, integrity, passion, and dedication. She has this amazing gift to hear or see a vision and bring it to fruition at a level greater than anticipated. She not only empowers her team but everyone she comes in contact with. Learning to be a "Situational Leader" — one that can adapt to any scenario and remain effective — is the greatest lesson I took from being mentored by Angela.

Angela has tremendous strategic vision. In her time at UPMC Health Plan, she has demonstrated the ability to partner with key leaders across the company to drive needed change. She leverages her depth of health care knowledge and diverse background to diagnose problems and root causes, and create strategies to successfully drive better alignment through connecting the organizational dots.
