Lea Mann is the Chief Executive Officer of iTrust Wellness, an outpatient mental health practice providing holistic psychiatric care across the lifespan. With a career defined by versatility and a talent for "ground-up" organizational design, Lea specializes in building the scalable infrastructure and compliant operations necessary for multi-site clinical success.
Lea began her career with a decade in clinical nursing, gaining an intimate understanding of the operational support providers need to deliver high-quality patient care. Her professional journey then pivoted into the automotive manufacturing and financial sectors, where she rose to executive leadership roles. As an HR Director and later a Director of Client Services & Operations, she became an expert in workforce systems, OSHA compliance, and financial strategy. Notably, Lea served as the CEO of a multi-state organization with 52 locations, where she modernized the brand and developed comprehensive safety and training programs before leading the company through a successful acquisition.
Returning to her healthcare roots, Lea joined iTrust Wellness to guide the organization through its next phase of growth and operational maturity. She integrates the high-accountability leadership skills she honed as a prior cheerleading coach with her deep knowledge of risk strategy and workforce development.
Driven by the philosophy that organizations "succeed together and grow through adversity," Lea is dedicated to building a culture at iTrust Wellness that lifts up both clinicians and patients. She focuses on creating sustainable, resilient systems that allow mental health professionals to focus on what matters most: the patient’s journey.
