Tina Simpson has become a principle at Atrómitos, a women-owned management services consulting firm, according to a news release.

In her role with Atrómitos, Simpson guides the firm's business practices "in providing its partners with support and resources in the most efficient and effective manner possible," officials said in the release.

Simpson is a former North Carolina assistant attorney general.

"She brings years of experience in health law and policy and an in-depth understanding of public health,” Michealle Gady, president of Atromitos, said in the release. 

“From her experience as an Assistant Attorney General in the North Carolina Department of Justice, where she gained invaluable insight into the law and regulation of Medicaid, to her experience in healthcare and privacy compliance, Tina will be an invaluable resource to our partners," Gady said. "While Tina's experience is vast, what strikes me most about her is her commitment to excellence and always going the extra mile.”

Simpson held previous roles as the executive director of a firm dedicated to assisting health care providers, and later as the chief compliance officer and director of contracts for a North Carolina-based startup population health company.

Simpson earned her Juris Doctor from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Law and a master's degree from UNC Gillings School of Global Public Health.
