Healthcare only works when people understand it, trust it and can access it without fear. Paola Bianchi Delp, president of CareNu and chief executive officer, SECUR Health Plan, channels that conviction into disciplined execution that meets individuals where they are and moves outcomes in the right direction.
Bianchi Delp describes a year anchored by one priority: expand CareNu’s reach while protecting the mission. Growth has meaning only when it improves lives and lowers unnecessary cost, so every initiative is tested against that standard. Programs scale with intention, partnerships deepen through shared accountability and service models evolve so guidance feels personal rather than transactional. The aim is health navigation that is clear, compassionate and effective for the people who need it most.
A leadership lesson sits at the heart of her approach. Progress begins with mindset. Curiosity, humility and resilience create room for smarter choices, stronger teams and better results. Bianchi Delp builds that posture across the organization by modeling openness, inviting hard questions and returning attention to the individual whose experience defines success. Process matters, yet purpose decides pace and direction.
Her recognition as a Titan 100 Honoree affirms that philosophy. The distinction reflects a record of delivering programs that perform while holding fast to dignity and equity. It also carries a charge to keep raising the bar for access, quality and value. For Bianchi Delp, the measure is simple to state and demanding to deliver: People should feel supported, informed and empowered at every step.
Mentorship and community engagement form the backbone of her accomplishments. She invests time in developing emerging professionals, widening pipelines that bring diverse talent into roles where they can thrive. That commitment extends beyond the office into neighborhoods where trusted relationships open doors for education, prevention and continuity of care. When confidence grows in the system, participation rises and health journeys stabilize.
The entrepreneurial chapter that most defines the past year centers on continuity and expansion. CareNu advanced with discipline, extending services while refining processes so teams could meet higher demand without diluting standards. Bianchi Delp frames this as proof that mission and scale can advance together when choices are grounded in real needs and outcomes are tracked with rigor.
Her vision for the next five years is clear. CareNu will continue to align growth with purpose, strengthening programs that close gaps and reduce friction for families navigating complex decisions. The organization will build capabilities that translate insight into action faster, deepen collaboration with community partners and keep empathy at the core of every interaction. Success will be evident in healthier members, fewer avoidable escalations and value realized across stakeholders.
What distinguishes Bianchi Delp is steadiness rooted in service. She believes leadership is measured by the confidence people gain when systems meet them with clarity and respect. Each initiative returns to that promise. When barriers fall, questions find answers and care becomes understandable, the work has done exactly what it was designed to do.
