About Jared Potter

I’m passionate about building systems and strategies that make healthcare more credible, connected, and impactful.At Virta Health, I sit at the intersection of science and strategy, helping translate research into evidence-based influence. My focus is on building trust with key opinion leaders (KOLs), strengthening scientific credibility, and ensuring our work is both actionable and defensible.My career spans biotech, product development, partnerships, and storytelling. That blend gives me a unique lens: I care about precision, but also about how ideas spread and create real-world change.What drives me most is impact. I believe in evidence over ego, systems over silos, and collaboration over credit. I care deeply about work that improves lives and I’m always open to meaningful conversations with others building things that matter.
