Jaime Henry Vice president of product
Origami Risk LLC
Chicago
Jaime Henry’s varied career has encompassed health care data management and jewelry marketing and sales, as well as risk management technology.
She joined Origami in 2015 as a senior client executive and has been in her current position since May 2022 after taking on roles of increasing responsibility along the way. Before Origami, she worked for almost five years at Zadok Jewelers, a family-owned business in Houston, in roles including customer service, marketing, events and operations.
After graduating from St. Mary’s College in Notre Dame, Indiana, in 2004 with a degree in management information systems, she became a data manager at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago, creating and managing databases and intake forms for clinical trials.
In 2006, she became an account manager in the Health Care Practice of CS Stars LLC, the former risk management information systems business of Marsh & McLennan Cos. Inc., before joining Zadok.
Ms. Henry continued to follow and research the insurance and technology sectors until she was contacted by a former Marsh McLennan colleague who had joined Origami.
“That entire time, I was watching Origami. I was watching how they grew, and I was watching my former friends and colleagues move over to Origami,” Ms. Henry said.
She has thrived with the move back into the sector. “I love the opportunity to help shape the technology future of the insurance industry. I love the way that my team is able to kind of work to find these efficiencies through technology,” she said.
Ms. Henry sees diversity as an advantage in tackling challenges. “What I really appreciate is representation, different experiences and different ways of thinking. There’s a lot of power when we put those mixes of experience in place because it helps us collaboratively solve problems better and faster,” she said.
“Jamie stands out because of her leadership skills and her business acumen. She is smart, curious and has terrific intuition,” said Heidi Melin, a board director at Origami.
