Judith "Judy" R. Faulkner (born 1943) is the CEO and founder of Epic
Systems, a healthcare software company located in Wisconsin. Faulkner founded Epic Systems in 1979, with the original name of Human Services Computing. In 2013, Forbes called her "the most powerful woman in healthcare", and in 2015 the magazine estimated her net worth at $2.6 billion.
Faulkner started Human Services Computing, which later became Epic Systems, shortly after receiving her master's degree. The company began with a $6,000 investment, part of which came from Faulkner's parents.
Faulkner lives in Madison, Wisconsin. She is married to Dr. Gordon Faulkner. Faulkner has signed The Giving Pledge.
Faulkner was born in 1943, and graduated with a bachelor's degree in mathematics from Dickinson College and a master's degree in computer science from the University of Wisconsin–Madison.
More than half the U.S. population has medical information stored in Epic software. Clients include the Cleveland Clinic, the Mayo Clinic and Johns Hopkins. In May 2015, Faulkner signed the Giving Pledge. She plans to transfer her shares in Epic to a foundation that will provide money for health care-related causes and education. "I never had any personal desire to be a wealthy billionaire living lavishly," she wrote in her pledge letter.
