Serviced clients in diverse markets ranging from North America to Europe to Africa, India and South East Asia. Experience: conceptualizing, strategy, implementation & growth. Built 2 companies from scratch including a 35+ people IT company from 1997-2005 and a 110+ people specialty products & consulting company from 2005-2013. Have managed diverse teams that include clinicians, IT professional, actuarial staff, insurance professional. Currently incubating & mentoring a new company based on the philosophy that healthcare is a very asymmetrical market. The consumer doesn’t understand complex medical issues well, has to make significant immediate decisions while in distress and generally struggles in a very opaque marketplace. He or she is significantly disadvantaged, very afraid and frequently exploited. This feed a vicious circle of doubt which cumulates in not seeking care at the right time and not being compliant with the prescribed treatment, thus further delivering poor outcomes and perpetuating the downward spiral. Our goal is to assist consumers in their healthcare journey by delivering visible, quantifiable and affordable positive health outcomes at reduced costs.
