Sam Glick

Sam Glick is executive vice president of enterprise strategy and business development for Kaiser Permanente. He is responsible for working with leaders across the enterprise to bring Kaiser Permanente's leading model of health-focused care to more people and communities.

In support of that goal, Glick oversees enterprise strategy, business development, venture investing, enterprise transformation, enterprise risk management, and public affairs across Kaiser Permanente's integrated care and coverage, national health plan, KP Medical Foundation, and Risant Health businesses. He is also responsible for identifying and launching new businesses in support of Kaiser Permanente's mission.

Raised on a citrus nursery in Southern California, Glick trained in economics at Pomona College in California and the University of Warwick in the United Kingdom. He then worked in the technology industry as an entrepreneur and strategist before helping to build the strategy and corporate development function at Mercer, the country's largest benefits broker and consultant. Immediately prior to joining Kaiser Permanente, he led the global Health and Life Sciences practice at Oliver Wyman, helping health systems, health plans, and other health care organizations to be more responsive to market and consumer needs.

Glick believes that easy access to high-quality, affordable, equitable, evidence-based health care is essential to human flourishing. Similarly, he believes that poverty, food insecurity, and lack of access to education too often stand in the way of people realizing their full potential. He is a longtime trustee of Pomona College, where he served for 9 years as chair of the board. He also serves as a member of the board of directors of Tipping Point Community, which advances the most promising poverty-fighting solutions in the San Francisco Bay Area. He and his wife, Emily Glick, serve as co-chairs of the Meals on Wheels San Francisco honorary board.
