Ms. Marquez is a driving force behind University of Utah Health’s enterprisewide digital strategy and roadmap. She leads cross-functional governance through the digital enablement committee and introduced a “Shark Tank”–style innovation process to vet new technologies for scalability and value. Under her leadership, the project management office has streamlined IT project delivery and adopted the “SAFe” framework, aligning digital initiatives with clinical and operational priorities. She also founded a women’s mastermind program to mentor and advance women in IT, promoting leadership development and career growth. Her strategic direction has helped University of Utah Health earn College of Healthcare Information Management Executives’s “Digital Health Most Wired” level 10 designation in both acute and ambulatory care, an honor achieved by just 26 systems nationwide in 2024.
