About the Author
Becca Pearce
Becca Pearce, author of You Don’t Have to Achieve to Be Loved, has spent much of her career as a corporate warrior, leading teams at CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield and Kaiser Permanente before being appointed CEO of Maryland’s Health Benefit Exchange. After a very public separation from the Exchange, Becca was diagnosed with a brain tumor, triggering a life-altering health battle that forced her to redefine success.
Today, as an inspirational speaker, growth strategist and executive coach, she sparks transformation in organizations and empowers professionals to lead with authenticity and purpose. She shares her journey as living proof that no matter how many times you’ve been “chewed up and spit out” by life, you can rise stronger and live fully. When she’s not on stage, she can be found on her boat, surrounded by family, friends, and her beloved pit bull mix, Nia.
