Digital Pathology Project Manager, ARUP

Sumie is a seasoned project manager who has facilitated decision-making and portfolio development with a cross-functional team of Medical, Operational and IT leadership groups; vetting Slide Management Systems (SMS), scanner vendor options and aligning resource needs in order to meet the business goals of ARUP.

Prior to her role helping develop Digital Pathology, Sumie served 7 years as a Quality Specialist; putting her technical knowledge to use for the Anatomic Pathology division and applying LSS DMAIC process tools.
