Lainey Templeton

SENIOR ASSOCIATE

Lainey’s passion lies in collaborating with teams and organizations to get the right things done! She began her career at Seattle Children’s driving change in healthcare, while pursuing her graduate degree at UW’s Evans school. That early experience working on a hospital transformation captivated her, and she fondly remembers the team environment and how some leaders can cultivate thriving and efficient teams by embracing a culture of belonging. It was back then that she realized that only by recognizing the unique strengths that everyone brings will organizations truly thrive in the modern world.

Lainey joined ECG after graduating from University of Washington’s Evans School of Public Policy and Governance, for a few years, and learned about healthcare technology, and improving medical records quality as a result, then on to Point B from there.

Point B gave Lainey a variety of opportunities to branch out from healthcare technology, starting with Lean Operations and Process Improvement, which led to her becoming a Certified Lean Professional.
She led larger and larger programs and teams with more significant clients, culminating in leading Business Readiness and a crisis management effort for a 40,000 user Order Entry system implementation at UW Medicine and Harborview Medical Center.

After 25 years as a Management Consultant, leading numerous programs across different organizations, Lainey decided to bring her extensive experience driving change through processes, technology, and people to support non-profits and community-based organizations.

​She joined the board of Plymouth Housing, a non-Profit organization focused on the development and operation of Permanent Supportive Housing. She quickly joined the executive committee, becoming chair of the board of trustees for two years from 2022-2023 during a critical time for growth and transition with a CEO change and post Covid. While Lainey is no longer board chair, she will remain a Plymouth Trustee through 2028.

​Lainey has a BA from the University of California Berkeley and an MPA from the University of Washington.
