During her career, Vicky Gregg has broken many glass ceilings for women in the South — becoming the first female major market manager for Humana in Louisville, the first women to serve as a top executive at BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee, and the first female chair for Chattanooga’s Electric Power Board (EPB).
Gregg, who at age 70 continues to work as a health care consultant, EPB chair, Erlanger trustee and a board member for a couple of major healthcare companies, said she didn’t set out to take on executive roles and pioneer female leadership at different companies. Rather, she has tried to find better ways to operate organizations and enjoys making a difference as a leader.
“I’ve always had a mindset to do things better and to look for ways to improve what you are doing,” she says.
As a leader and board member, Gregg has played a key role in several transformative changes for Chattanooga.
