Mindshare Institute/Intermountain Health
Carter Dredge is a global healthcare thought leader and transformationalist. He currently serves as the executive director of the Intermountain Health Institute and president of the Mindshare Institute, where he partners with some of the world’s top thinkers and doers to create novel solutions to complex problems and develop trusted and effective leaders.
Prior to his current role as a senior executive at Intermountain Health, Dredge served at SSM Health as senior vice president and lead futurist and as chief strategy & transformation officer, overseeing strategy, innovation, mergers and acquisitions, research and development, analytics, and business development.
Dredge has been recognized by Modern Healthcare magazine as one of the “Top 25 Innovators” in the United States and was the first American ever accepted into the business doctorate program at the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom—a program specifically designed for executives who had built or who currently lead major corporations.
Dredge has served and continues to serve on numerous boards of healthcare services organizations, insurance companies and startups (several of which he cofounded), and he loves the challenge of creating new businesses—particularly businesses focused on serving those most in need.
He is deeply committed to venture-philanthropic innovation, education and leadership development, and is a fellow of the Aspen Institute and a member of the Aspen Global Leadership Network.
He holds a bachelor’s degree in business management and corporate finance from Brigham Young University, a Master of Healthcare Administration from Cornell University, and a Business Doctorate from the University of Cambridge, where he also is a fellow at Judge Business School.
