He currently serves on the boards of VISA, Nuance, Vertex and Grid Dynamics.

Chang currently serves on the board of directors for Procter & Gamble, following an accomplished career in a broad swath of the tech sector. She was chief executive of the relationship intelligence platform startup, Accompany, which was acquired by Cisco, after which she served as executive vice president and general manager of Cisco's multi-billion-dollar Collaboration business. She previously led teams for Google Analytics, Google Website Optimizer, and Trends, overseeing enormous growth in the analytics division. Chang is currently an adviser to AI/ML firms like SambaNova, Snorkel.ai, KatanaGraph, NoviConnect and internet firms Hubspot, Optimizely, BloomReach, Origami Logic (acquired by Intuit), Datorama (acquired by Salesforce), Skyhigh Networks (acquired by McAfee), and has previously served on the boards of Cisco, Splunk and Informatica.

“It is a great honor for UCSF Health to be able to tap into this level of expertise from some of the most successful and complex areas of the business community,” said Mark R. Laret, president and chief executive officer of UCSF Health. “They bring valuable expertise that complements a wealth of knowledge among our current team of advisors. We welcome Amy and Lloyd to our board and look forward to the guidance they will offer.”

Chang, who also is an electrical engineer, began her career working on hardware for Intel, AMD, and Motorola. She holds both a BSEE and MSEE from Stanford University, where she currently serves on the School of Engineering Dean's Council and the Stanford Technology Ventures Program council.

Carney and Chang will contribute to the Executive Council’s overall goal to evaluate short- and long-term business strategies, operations and financial performance for UCSF Health. The new council members will play a role in decisions related to regional network affiliations and the planning and financing of capital projects, such as the construction of the new UCSF Helen Diller Medical Center at Parnassus Heights.

In addition to these duties, the council acts as a liaison between UCSF Health and local business, pollical, and philanthropic communities as well as providing leadership and oversight of some fund-raising activities.
