But actually it’s interesting because my journey in this world, becoming a lawyer, is actually my second career. KT: It certainly was a dream job when I got hired by Bricker & Eckler. And what strikes me as a dream job out of law school with the most prestigious law firm in Ohio, named after a former governor and senator. RH: It’s interesting to me how you created this important corner of healthcare from a career in the law. And of course, a lot of that cost impact plays out for the individuals who are receiving the healthcare because you know, they are conserving more of their out-of-pocket costs. KT: Our clients see an immediate result in the first year where their claim-spend reduces by about five percent from where they were previously spending, which for large companies is hundreds of millions of dollars.

Trott believes there’s the opportunity to extract as much as 20% of unnecessary costs in healthcare by reducing duplication and waste. She has placed consumers at the center of the map, a contrast to the traditional approach of looking at providers and their inefficiencies and challenges. Combining the strategies she learned in market research with her knowledge of healthcare, Trott sought to redefine the consumer’s experience with the healthcare system.

From there she went to law school, and eventually led the healthcare consulting practice at prestigious law firm Bricker & Eckler. Her first job out of college was in market research, analyzing consumer behavior to help companies rethink their store layouts, and their marketing, distribution, and merchandising strategies. She doesn’t believe in command and control management, and says that as president and CEO, she views herself as at the bottom of an inverted pyramid, supporting the rest of the company.
