Shy, But Not Silent: Brandi Caton on Networking, Leadership and Integrity
Episode Discussion Summary
In this episode, Brandi shares how her passion for healthcare technology started before she even graduated high school and why her vision for making a difference hasn’t changed. We talk about:
- Starting with purpose – how her original goal of helping low-income patients led her to HTM.
- The mentors who shaped her – including lessons learned from calm, confident leadership.
- The evolution of HTM – bridging the gap between IT and biomed, and embracing AI as the next frontier.
- Breaking comfort zones – how attending her first AAMI Exchange became a masterclass in networking and connection.
- The power of representation – seeing 75+ women in leadership gather in one room and the ripple effect it has on the next generation.
- Leading with integrity – why honesty and accountability are non-negotiables in protecting patient safety.
- Next-gen outreach – the importance of intentional programs in schools to create a pipeline for future HTM professionals.
Brandi’s story reminds us that sometimes the most impactful leaders are the ones who start with a quiet determination and let their work do the talking.
