Meet the Global Team

Founder, Senior Strategic Advisor

Stephen is an industry leader and published writer with decades of experience in medical education. He’s served as President for several professional societies and continues research initiatives related to excellence and growth in education. Stephen also served as a lobbyist and U.S. Senate Press Secretary prior to Global. He is a Life Member of MENSA and received his undergraduate and master’s degrees from Colorado State University in Fort Collins.

Vice President of Operations, General Manager

After graduating from the University of Colorado at Boulder with a degree in Economics, Joe pursued more education receiving two master’s degrees in Operations Management and Finance, respectively, from Regis University. Although he’s worked in several fields (finance, technology, and healthcare), he knew Colorado was always the place to be professionally and personally, and joined the Global team as Vice President of Operations and General Manager.

When he isn’t preaching about quality and performance improvement initiatives to reinvent healthcare and education, Joe enjoys karaokeing 80s and 90s pop and rap music, and anything that gets him outside with his family and dog, Mikey.

Director, Education

Andrea has been in the medical education industry since 2011. During her time with Global, she’s focused on program management and operations, with an emphasis on customer service.

She received her degree in business from the University of Denver, and when she isn’t managing programs, mentoring employees, or completing outcomes and reconciliations, she likes to spend her time painting, crocheting, or at concerts – and documenting everything on social media along the way.

Director, Education Strategy

Before joining the Global team in 2013, John worked in various industries in customer service, marketing, and sales support. At Global, he manages all marketing and branding as well as several partner relationships. John is passionate about digital marketing and enjoys being involved in all aspects of the business.

When he isn’t managing or creating process improvements for Global, he likes to spend his time outdoors. Hiking, camping, running, and skiing (the mountains of Colorado and Japan) are a few of his favorite activities – all while cheering on his alma mater Kansas Jayhawks with his dog, Harvey.

Program Manager

Liddy has lived in Colorado her whole life and self-proclaims herself to be “Global’s resident crazy animal lady,” She completed her degree in finance and much of her experience is in compliance, auditing, and operations management in a wide variety of fields.

In her downtime, she enjoys hiking with her husband and two dogs (Nibbles and Indiana Bones), fostering homeless animals, and travel.

Special Projects Assistant

Julia received an English degree from St. Lawrence University in upstate New York before moving to Colorado in 2015. In addition, she has a hybrid graduate degree through the Harvard Extension School .As a Special Projects Assistant, she helps out everyone at Global with a variety of activities, assignments, and tasks, and also works as a part-time editor.

When she's not obsessively correcting everyone's grammar, Julia enjoys exploring the outdoors with her dog, Beowulf - a 70-pound malamute / husky mix that considers the Global office his second home. 

Manager, Education Partnerships

Fairly new to Denver, Ainsley has settled in quite well to the Mile-High city. Originally from Champaign, Illinois, mountain life is a bit of a change. After graduating from the University of Illinois (go Illini!) with a degree in communications, Ainsley found her passion for healthcare working various roles in marketing, public relations, and sales.

Outside of her work, Ainsley enjoys coaching and playing competitive volleyball, country music, and being outdoors with her dog, Cooper. 

Program Manager

She’s a native of Florida and moved to Colorado in 2008 to pursue nursing, despite her strong dislike of the cold.
