WORK HISTORY
Co-founder & CEO @Elation Health
San Francisco, CA, US
We trust physicians. And we’re earning their trust in return. Elation is the platform for practices that deliver care on their own terms. Our community of primary care practices provide the best possible care for more than seven million patients from New York to Hawaii today. We support them with technology that respects their work, their time, and their value.Creating technology that strengthens the relationships between patients and doctors has been the biggest challenge in my life. From the very start, we knew it was going to be hard. Entrepreneurs and investors tried to warn us off. We were explicitly signing up for a challenge, and one we knew was so critical to a future for healthcare that actually worked for physicians and patients. In my role as co-founder and CEO, I’ve been hands on in almost every part of serving our customers at some point. I learned sales and scanned charts in the earliest days. I applied my computer science background to build the first production version of the platform that went live in a practice (and where we are still live today). I led and grew engineering for the first few years, before handing it over to our excellent team. I’m always trying to learn and to be better. I continue to be proud and humbled by what we’ve accomplished together. There’s so much still to do. Do you share our mission to create a bright future for independent primary care? I hope we can work together.
