Ingrid Mifflin-Hansen has spent the last 25 years consulting with healthcare professionals on the business side of their practice as a Management and Marketing Communications / professional. She has a proven track record in developing strong industry alliances, optimizing profit opportunities, and creating strategic campaigns that are educational and compelling. She brings to the table effective management skills with focus on team-building and mentoring to achieve top performance.
Ingrid’s involvement with the field of dentistry began at the age of sixteen, when she met and worked with her first mentor, a Periodontist, Casey M. Herrera. Ingrid credits her for her early – career guidance and helping her examine, understand and experience the impact of self – leadership and character development on organizations. This phase of her career also gave her the opportunity to get to know the dental profession intimately with its rewards and challenges.
Upon college graduation, Ingrid learned the “life changing power of having an exceptional mentor” when she met Regis McKenna. He is a world renowned business management consultant, author and speaker. He introduced many of the ideas that have become part of the mainstream. He and the McKenna Group were instrumental in the launch of companies like Apple, Intel and Genentech. For many years, as part of his team, she has had the direct benefit of his insight and knowledge. She managed marketing projects and speaking engagements at the McKenna Group. There, she learned how stable foundations of business and marketing function.
Having achieved a perfect blend of dentistry and business knowledge, Ingrid began her business consulting practice. Over the ensuing years, she has secured and continued to expand her understanding of the strengths and weaknesses inherently found in many successful professional practices and its leaders and has realized how to help dental practices build on them.
