Seven Men Whose Wives are Making Waves
Stanford Professor and Nobel Laureate, Alvin Roth, in a research work titled
Deferred Acceptance Algorithms, posits that, regardless of how successful any of the partners is in marriage, both spouses are likely to be happy if they understand contentment. The Roth’s rule is still largely valid especially for men who feel insecure around successful women.
Professor Roth’s rule has been strengthened by Anna. N: et al (2015) through their research titled, “An Examination of How Husbands, As Key Stakeholders, Impact the Success of Women Entrepreneurs” in the
Journal of Small Business and Enterprise Development. They conclude in their research that husbands’ support for their wives increases the chances of the women becoming successful women entrepreneurs and business leaders. Here are seven men whose wives are making waves globally and who credit much of their success to the support received from their husbands.
A family physician who recently headed a group of four hospitals in Virginia has been tapped as the next CEO of MaineHealth.
The state’s largest health care system said in a news release Thursday that Dr. Andrew T. Mueller will succeed Bill Caron, who has been a leader of MaineHealth since its founding in 1988. In October 2019 he announced that he would retire at the end of 2020, but postponed the transition because of demands created by the pandemic.
Mueller is expected to start at MaineHealth in late spring, according to the release. On Tuesday, he resigned from his role as president and CEO of Centra Health, a nonprofit health care system in Lynchburg, Va., with 8,500 employees.
