Meet Our Team

We’re policy wonks, strategic thinkers, storytellers, brand builders, and changemakers.

Michealle Gady, JD
President

Driven by a quote from Eleanor Roosevelt, "You must do the things you think you cannot do," Michealle founded Atromitos to help partners do what they think they cannot. In her role as President, Michealle oversees strategy, planning, and policy work for its partners and the day-to-day operations of Atromitos. The words used most often to describe her are, "She gets things done." 

Michealle takes years of U.S. health law and policy experience and puts it to work for partners who are trying to succeed during this time of dramatic transformation within the U.S. health care system. Michealle fully understands the intricate process of turning policy into law and understands the need to balance competing forces in order to succeed. Michealle has honed her ability to think strategically and creatively in her prior roles and she brings these skills to all of Atrómitos' partners.
