Anthem Innovation
technology project manager
Amna Sohail launched her career as corporate engagement manager at United Way of Central Indiana before she joined High Alpha as an analyst on the corporate innovation and business design team. Her efforts there resulted in the launch of five business-to-business software-as-a-service companies. She then joined Elevate Ventures as a senior analyst on the investment team, where she helped support investment in more than 100 Indiana-based early-stage companies. She left Elevate in June to work as technology project manager at Anthem Innovation. There, she’s helping drive new digital health care solutions from seed to scale. She works on initiatives like Anthem’s new digital incubator, which is designed to enable early-stage startups in developing and deploying new digital health solutions.
