40 Under 40: Anna Roberto

A major influence in Anna Roberto’s Jewish life was her father.

“Judaism has been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I was born into an interfaith household, and my dad converted when I was little. Watching him choose Judaism showed me early that it’s something you choose, not only something you’re born into.”

In high school, Roberto served on the board of her youth group at The Temple and then as Regional President of NFTY Southern Area Region.

“[The] Jewish community growing up gave me a place where I could be fully myself and learn how to lead.”

A UGA grad, with a BS in biology and a BBA in finance, she currently serves as Head of Sales at Anomaly, a healthcare data science company that puts Al to work for providers. The company builds technology and works alongside healthcare teams to resolve payment problems and the cycle of administrative work they create. She started her career with seven years in healthcare consulting at Huron Consulting Group, working on revenue cycle operations for hospitals and health systems.

Outside her career, Roberto is program Director at Camp Jenny, a camp she has been involved for almost two decades. The camp brings elementary-aged children from an under-resourced Atlanta school district to camp for a long weekend and is run almost entirely by Jewish teenage staff from across the South. She is also on the Board of Trustees at Temple Sinai, having previously served on the Culture of Belonging Committee there.

She is actively involved in the Old Fourth Ward Neighborhood Association with her husband, Jake Schwartz, and their dog Walker, an Australian Cattle Dog with strong opinions about everything.
