Healthcare Supply Chain Speaker.
Keynotes and interactive workshops for healthcare supply chain and materials management associations, hospital supply chain teams and health system operations meetings.
Chris Sund is a keynote speaker, the award-winning, bestselling author of You Are Capable of More, and President and COO of Uniti Med, GQR Healthcare and Nebula. Supply chain teams keep every unit stocked and rarely hear about it unless something is missing. Chris led an interactive leadership workshop for more than 200 healthcare supply chain professionals at the WSHMMA Conference.
Nobody notices supply chain when it works. Leaders should.
The team behind every shift.
Healthcare supply chain and materials management run on people who solve problems quietly, often on tight margins and short notice. That makes leadership, recognition and retention the levers that matter most.
Invisible When It Works
Supply chain staff rarely get credit for the shortage that never happened. Recognition has to be built into how leaders lead.
A Wide Range of Experience
Rooms mix new buyers and technicians with directors who have run supply chain for decades. Sessions have to work for all of them.
Retention Protects Operations
Losing experienced people means losing the knowledge that keeps units stocked. Keeping them is an operational strategy.
Chris speaks on leadership and retention, not procurement technique. For broader logistics audiences, see Logistics and Supply Chain Speaker.
Delivered for supply chain leaders.
In August 2026 Chris led The Leadership Exchange, an interactive leadership workshop, for more than 200 healthcare supply chain professionals at the WSHMMA Conference in Tacoma.

The feedback speaks for itself.
Chris brought exactly the kind of energy and engagement we wanted for our WSHMMA Annual Conference. Speaking to more than 200 healthcare supply chain professionals with a wide range of experience levels, he connected with the entire room. He didn’t simply stand on stage and talk about leadership — he created an experience. His Leadership Exchange had attendees talking, laughing, reflecting, and learning from one another. He knows how to read a room and turn a traditional conference session into something people actually participate in and remember.
Christopher Sund delivered an engaging and thought-provoking presentation on employee retention, emphasizing the importance of belonging, purpose, appreciation, and connection. His SPARK framework—Support, Purpose, Appreciation, Relationships, and Knowledge/Growth—provided practical leadership strategies to reverse disengagement. His powerful question, “Would you want to work for you?” encouraged meaningful self-reflection.
He was engaged, responsive, and invested throughout the planning process and created a presentation that resonated with our audience and challenged us all to look at employee retention from a different lens. Chris brought both expertise and authenticity to his presentation while making the most of DisruptHR’s fast-paced five-minute format.
