Az Business Recognizes CEO Christine Ehrich Among Top Business Leaders to Watch in 2023
Revolutionizing the way Arizona families access autism evaluations and treatment, CEO Christine Ehrich earned a top spot on Az Business’s AZ Big 100. The first annual list showcases the people and businesses that are breaking barriers and affecting positive change through innovation and leadership.
With great vision and drive, Christine has developed a model for streamlining autism diagnosis that’s slashing exorbitant wait times for Arizona families, ensuring they can access life-changing intervention and therapies faster. More than 15,000 Arizona children are currently on a waitlist for an autism evaluation, often waiting more than a year for a diagnosis. Axis for Autism cuts the evaluation process to less than 60 days.
Christine leverages the skills and relationships she honed over 20+ years at the helm of Industrial Solutions Network, where she transformed how injured workers in Arizona receive therapy and grew the company to 600 clinics in three states. She brought these learnings to Axis for Autism, where she has rallied a network of specialized psychologists who are committed to the mission and upending evaluation barriers.
