Med Tech Solutions CEO Mona Abutaleb Profiled by Thrive Global

It is often said that you can tell a lot about an organization by its leaders – the qualities they personify, and the values they espouse. That is certainly the case for Med Tech Solutions and our CEO Mona Abutaleb, who recently participated in an interview with Thrive Global. Mona questioned the request to be interviewed for an article on her personal experience versus focusing on the company and its capabilities. But our marketing team was unrelenting in its argument that you can tell a lot about a company by getting to know the person at the helm.

After reading the profile of Mona in Thrive Global, we’re sure you will agree. Not surprisingly, many of Mona’s responses mirror the same qualities that are behind MTS’s growth and long-term relationship with healthcare practices across the U.S. Consider a few examples:

• On stress: “Quite simply, I prepare. For me, the best way to relieve stress is to be really well prepared.”

At MTS we pride ourselves on alleviating the stress and anxiety our customers face. Armed with a “be prepared” mindset and attitude, we address and solve important challenges that keep healthcare IT professionals up at night. Security is but one example. Our recent creation of a Security Alliance with Avertium and LIFARS reflects our belief that being prepared is the best way to address and negate potentially stressful situations. With the alliance, MTS’s cloud clients can access a coordinated team that has deep expertise in proactive preparedness and incident response 24/7/365, freeing IT to focus on what’s most important – patient care.

• On creating an inclusive culture: “I am proud to say that we did not lose a single member of our team as a result of the challenges associated with COVID. We found a way to accomplish our business goals by focusing on our employees and their needs.”

Your managed services provider isn’t just a company, it’s individuals you trust and know by name. At MTS, we know you want a partner that’s in it for the long haul. MTS worked with every IT professional on our team to make sure they had the flexibility to stay the course in the midst of a pandemic that merged childcare, work, and school like never before. As a result, our customers knew they had a stable partner capable of providing the solutions like telehealth and remote access they needed to successfully provide care while overcoming the unprecedented challenges presented by the pandemic.

• On adapting: “I was opening our office outside of Washington D.C. when COVID-19 struck. I ended up opening and closing our D.C. office in March, but for 13 of the last 16 months I have led Med Tech Solutions from home.”

The past year underscored the importance of being able to adapt to new situations, from working remotely to continuing to build new relationships and capabilities in the face of challenges. Adaption is a hallmark of IT success. Technologies are always evolving, as are the use cases that prompt us to embrace them. At MTS, we try to build flexibility, specifically the flexibility to address our clients’ changing needs, into everything we do.

• On mentors: “She (Sherry Morehouse) had her own Top 10 list and she named them; she called them “The Morehouse Maxim’s,” her fundamental principles. The most important one and her number-one maxim was ‘patience is not a virtue…”

Like one of Mona’s early mentors, Sherry Morehouse, then a director of planning and engineering at MCI, we know patience is not a virtue in the face of a rapidly changing cybersecurity threat landscape or a constantly evolving regulatory and reimbursement environment. At MTS, we deliver the fast action our customers need to address and overcome any IT challenges that arise. We also take pride in delivering the solutions and services our customers, many of whom serve underserved populations, need to achieve their missions to make the world a better place.
