Most recently, she served as Vice President of Strategic Planning for the University of Chicago Medicine. In this role, Koenig managed strategic planning processes, business analytics and the implementation of strategic initiatives.
Previously, Koenig worked at UNC Health Care, where she directed the strategic planning team.

Raising awareness about sudden cardiac arrest and helping to improve the survival rate for victims became a passion for Koenig after she lost her father to sudden cardiac arrest in 2012.
