Linda Pilla

Health care organizations turn to Linda Pilla to align regulatory demands with business strategy and replace reactive oversight with proactive, data-driven compliance and risk frameworks.

Drawing on more than 30 years of clinical, risk, and compliance experience, Linda has spent more than 15 years leading integrated compliance, privacy, and Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) programs for complex health systems and provider organizations. She has held increasingly responsible roles in the nonprofit, academic, and for-profit sectors across the continuum of acute and post-acute providers.

Linda is known for her ability to align regulatory demands with business strategy, transforming reactive oversight into proactive, data-driven frameworks that protect patient safety and safeguard organizational reputation. She is particularly skilled in risk assessment and mitigation, the design and implementation of ERM structures and programs, and compliance program development. She serves clients as an experienced compliance and risk advisor, resource, and liaison.

Previously, Linda served as Chief Risk Officer of a nationally recognized pediatric health system and as Vice President and Corporate Responsibility Officer of one of the largest entities of a national health system. Immediately before joining EBG Advisors, she was Chief Compliance Officer of a global home health care and hospice organization, overseeing programs across eight specialty practices with more than 25,000 nursing and ancillary staff in over 300 offices.
