Christopher Donovan is the director of Service Delivery – Wisconsin Market for Ascension where he leads IT operations for 30 hospitals and 250+ clinics across the Ascension Wisconsin Market. He graduated from American Public University with a degree in information technology management. In 2019 he retired from active duty military service where he ended his military career as the Chief of Communications for a 5,000-soldier unit. Christopher feels that the UW-Stevens Point MBA program will accelerate his learning and grow his local network of professionals in Central Wisconsin. He looks forward to advancing his business knowledge and experience, adding it to his 27 years of military leadership experience. Following his completion of the program, Christopher hopes to put himself on a level playing field with his colleagues in the health care industry to catapult himself into a leadership position where he can pave the way for transformational change. Christopher’s greatest professional dream is to find himself in a position where he can lead an organization from great to best in class. He is looking to be in a position where he can use his 17-year involvement in the Malcolm Baldrige Program, military leadership and knowledge gained from the MBA to drive performance excellence within the Marshfield Clinic Health System. He hopes to learn more about strategic challenges and advantages across several different industry types which can then be translated into lessons learned or opportunities for his current role in the health care industry. One of Christopher’s passions is developing leaders. One way he has found to continue that is through being a Scoutmaster and executive committee member with the Boy Scouts of America. Along with that passion comes frequent opportunities to enjoy the outdoors. If he is not coaching and mentoring youth through BSA, you can find enjoying the outdoors with his wife and three sons.
