Steven Gonzalez has spent two decades testing one conviction: culture is not a values poster. It is the operating system of care. He leads from both sides of that idea, as President and CEO of HealthView, a Fortune Best Workplace in Health Care and Inc. 5000 company founded in 1967, and as founder of CultureAI, the operating system for culture, built on the belief that great culture and great systems are the same discipline. Before HealthView he co-founded SpartX and helped build PokitDok from the founding team, both later acquired. He speaks nationally and advocates in Washington on the future of post-acute care. He writes for Inc. Magazine and Forbes through The Culture Lab.
