Virginia, US, 17th October 2024, ZEX PR WIRE, In a rapidly evolving veterinary industry, Dr. Jaime Klimsey Pickett, DVM, MBA, emerges as a trailblazer, setting new standards in animal welfare and business leadership. Currently serving as the CEO and President of Hannah Pet Hospitals, Dr. Pickett brings over two decades of experience, having managed veterinary operations for more than 50+ locations nationwide during her tenure at Pet Paradise.
Dr. Pickett’s journey in veterinary medicine is a testament to the power of combining clinical expertise with business acumen. “A career in veterinary leadership requires a deep understanding of both the medical and business aspects of the industry,” says Dr. Pickett. “My passion for animal health drove me to pursue a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine, while my desire to innovate led me to earn an MBA in Multi-Sector Health Management from St. George’s University and Wharton Executive Education program at the University of Pennsylvania.”
Her leadership addresses key challenges within the veterinary field, such as workforce shortages and the need for sustainability.

She has pledged over $200,000 to institutions like the University of Florida and Johns Hopkins University to support aspiring veterinarians. “Investing in education is crucial to shaping the future of veterinary medicine,” she emphasizes. Her board memberships, including the University of Florida College of Veterinary Medicine Admissions Committee, reflect her commitment to mentoring the next generation of veterinary professionals.
Dr. Pickett’s dedication extends beyond hospital operations. As a National Veterinary Business Leader Certification holder and private pilot, she continues to break boundaries. Her strategic focus on growth and patient care at Hannah Pet Hospitals is driving positive changes in the industry. “I believe in being flexible and adaptable,” Dr. Pickett notes. “New challenges and opportunities arise daily, but with a collaborative mindset and empathy, we can build trust and achieve positive outcomes.”
