Bio

Ada Glover is co-founder and chief product officer at Zus Health, a healthcare data platform offers providers a real-time, comprehensive view of each patient’s care history. As Chief Product Officer, Ada leads Zus’s product, design, and clinical teams in creating care team experiences that are simple and relevant.  Ada has nearly 10 years of product development experience, having previously led teams at athenahealth and Zearn. Passionate about mission-driven work, she enjoys setting strategy, digging into data, and helping longitudinal care organizations solve operational problems with technology.  Ada studied economics and physics at MIT and started her career at Bain & Company. She lives outside Boston with her husband and two children.

What influenced your choice of undergraduate major? How has it shaped your career choices and professional ability?

It’s not often you see someone combine a double major in physics and economics. I always knew I was interested in the business world and having a hands on experience building a product and organization, but also had a passion for the elegance of physics in understanding and modeling the world that stemmed from my high school experience studying the subject.  In the end, my physics degree challenged me mathematically, stretched my ability to abstract and solve problems, and gave me experience collaborating with others in the lab or working side-by-side on a challenging problem set.  I think it gave me the confidence to navigate the challenging and unfamiliar in my career.

What motivates you to do the work that you do?

There are a few things that motivate me.  First, the work that I do has an impact on real people in this world.  Allowing physicians to have a more complete picture of their patients gives them the tools to offer more proactive care and impact lives.  Hearing those stories is so powerful.  I felt similarly earlier in my career working in the education space and seeing impact on student learning.  Second, I have the opportunity to engage in really interesting intellectual problems and learn every day.  Last, and perhaps most important, I am motivated by forming relationships with those I work with, whether it’s someone I mentor, partner with, or am guided by.

Is there anything you wish you had done differently or more of while you were at MIT?

I wish I more fully engaged in some of the research opportunities MIT offers, including developing stronger relationships with some of the faculty and staff.  I poured my time and effort into many student activities and trying to navigate the professional world beyond MIT, but could have more effectively engaged with the brilliant research happening around me.

Making decisions, especially important-feeling career decisions, is really challenging for people at all stages of their career. What strategies have you used to make career decisions? 

The thing I’d offer is to have a clear narrative for who you are and what you want.  Even if you’re not 100% clear on these statements, taking the time to articulate what is important to you makes it that much more likely that you will focus your search, successfully solicit support from others, and negotiate for what matters to you.  Moreover, having a draft of such perspectives can help unearth where you lack conviction in your priorities and can guide towards intentional informational interviews, self reflection, and other means of hypothesis testing.
