Getting to know Julie Goldman, director, Schwartz Communications
My first Schwartz healthcare client was: in healthcare IT, it was Skyscape, a provider of mobile reference solutions for healthcare professionals. In the medical device market, it was Endius, maker of a minimally-invasive spine surgery platform. Today, I work primarily with companies in Schwartz’s healthcare IT practice.What I like most about working in healthcare is: learning about new innovations that have a direct impact on everyday people. It’s interesting to promote solutions that really improve the practice of medicine or make a business impact for providers and payers. It’s also cool when I am at a doctor’s office and see him/her using a technology that I represent, like Epocrates’ medical software on a mobile device.
When I’m not working, I like to: spend time with my 15 month old son dancing and giggling, as well as with my great husband Dan. I also like to watch TV, shop, read, and enjoy a glass of good wine and yummy food (these days it’s mostly take-out or finding recipes to make at home). And, I admit, I like Facebooking and playing games like Angry Birds on my iPhone!
Who had the biggest influence on your career?: I never really thought about this before, but I think it’s my mom. She always taught me that I can achieve anything I want, and to set big goals and work hard to achieve them. She passed away several years ago, but I think she’d be proud to see where I am today.
People would be most surprised to learn that I: pursued a career in professional theatre before coming to Schwartz. I was in stage management at Williamstown Theatre Festival and the Indiana Repertory Theatre, where I worked with/met some famous people like Paul Newman, Joanne Woodward, Arthur Miller, Sigourney Weaver, Marisa Tomei, F. Murray Abraham and Blythe Danner.
If I wasn’t in healthcare, I would probably be: a therapist. People seem to like talking to me about their problems and I think I give good advice.
