Civic Scholars Student Profile Raabia Budhwani

Career Aspirations

As Henry Schein’s Senior Director of Global Strategic Partnerships, Raabia leads the development of public-private partnerships that align diverse stakeholders across sectors to drive innovative healthcare policy, investment, and delivery. As the deep integration of oral health and overall health are beginning to be understood by the healthcare sector, these partnerships align Henry Schein’s 5 Constituents – customers, suppliers, investors, Team Schein, and society to improve global healthcare equity and access. Raabia draws on two decades of experience in partnership-building, cross-sectoral collaboration, and investment in pursuit of a personal mission to unleash human potential – the foundation of which is health.

Raabia's foray into the business world began long before her time at Booth - even in her earliest roles in national service in the Peace Corps and AmeriCorps, she sought to engage the private sector in partnerships to improve the quality of life and economic outcomes for the communities in which she worked. Her time as a Neubauer Civic Scholar at Booth empowered her with the language of business, the art of finance, and experiences across the capital stack - all of which she blends daily with her social sector expertise to advance the mission of "helping health happen" and increasing access to healthcare as a tri-sector leader at the world's largest global provider of healthcare solutions.
