Latrice Hickman

Chief risk and compliance officer

Copa Health

Background: Hickman’s experience is the consensus of more than 20 years successfully leading local and national human service agencies and businesses. She is an advocate for serving the underserved and creating systems that improve quality of life outcomes. 

Key to success: “Any success I achieve is a result of team and relationship building, as well as creating opportunities for the professional development of others. These efforts build a community of individuals focused on a goal ultimately achieved via multiple pathways.”

Source of pride: “There is a culmination of accomplishments bolstering the trajectory of my career; most recently at Copa Health, Inc. As a result, exposure to a multitude of diverse thought-leaders and stakeholders presents me with the privilege of contributing to workgroups responsible for research-based documents instrumental in guiding system changes. I am proud to support a system that serves the most vulnerable populations.”

Surprising fact: “I was a licensed cosmetologist for more than 25 ears and still enjoy learning about the latest industry trends.”
