INSPIRING FLORIDIAN: David Pizzo, former market president for Florida Blue, who recently passed away. David was such a genuine person, who cared for all and worked tirelessly on behalf of Tampa Bay. After my promotion to regional president, David was one of the first people to meet with me and speak about his passion for our community and his various civic and charitable board engagements. He inspired and energized me then and continues to do so today.
WHAT I’VE LEARNED: Just be yourself. I am at my best when I am 100% comfortable, genuine, and sincere based on my moral, ethical and religious beliefs.
