Ms. Grunig brings to her role over twenty years of management experience developing and supporting strategic administrative and financial functions for universities, academic medical centers, healthcare systems, industry and professional services firms. She possesses a broad base of leadership experience – in higher education, healthcare and the private sector – that will be essential in directing an Internal Audit team charged with enhancing System operations by evaluating and improving the effectiveness of risk management, control and governance processes.
