Stephanie “Steph” Jones is a successful executive, wife, and proud mother of two remarkable young men, Mikel and Miles. In her debut memoir, Running to Catch Up: Winning in Spite of Myself, she chronicles her personal journey of confronting her fears and rediscovering her authentic self—beyond her identity as a businesswoman and mother.

Born and raised in Miami, Florida, Steph holds a bachelor’s degree in business administration and a master’s degree in accounting from Nova Southeastern University. With over 30 years of experience in the healthcare industry, she has worked for leading organizations like Cigna, Coventry (now Aetna), and UnitedHealth Group. By the age of 32, she was already serving in leadership roles for one of South Florida’s largest health plans.

In 2005, Steph joined Convey Health Solutions, a healthcare technology and service company, to lead the Managed Care division. Over the years, she was progressively promoted and, in 2021, she was appointed as the president of the Technology Business division. This role led her to one of her proudest career moments—ringing the bell on the New York Stock Exchange when the company went public. Most recently, Steph was promoted to Enterprise Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of the $400 million business.

Despite her professional accomplishments—serving as a dynamic leader, strong negotiator, change agent, and trusted advisor—Steph was determined to add “legacy builder” to her résumé. The transition to an empty nest sparked her to face her lifelong fears, apply her problem-solving skills to overcome personal challenges, and, inspired by her 11-year-old self, transform her life . . . and write a book about it all. 

Alongside her husband of over 30 years, Morshee, Steph is an active philanthropist. She holds the position of chairman of the board for Miami-based nonprofit, Girl Power Rocks, and is an active member of International Women’s Forum of Florida. Having rediscovered her childhood passions, she is also a fitness and fashion enthusiast, columnist for Legacy Magazine, and enjoys spending quality time with friends and family.
