About Max Denker

I’m a healthcare operator with 13+ years of experience building and scaling teams, systems, and execution across healthcare delivery and healthcare SaaS.I currently serve as Chief Operating Officer at Klarisana, a venture-backed, multi-state mental health organization, where I translate strategy into execution - scaling operations, improving access to care, and driving measurable financial and clinical outcomes.Before Klarisana, I spent nine years at Epic, leading enterprise EHR implementations and customer success for large health systems. That experience shaped how I think about scale: aligning people, process, and technology in complex clinical environments - then making it work in the real world.What I do best:• Build scalable operating systems (OKRs, KPIs, dashboards, execution cadence)• Lead and develop cross-functional teams (clinical, ops, finance, IT, marketing)• Translate payer, clinical, and operational complexity into clear execution• Drive growth without losing quality, culture, or patient experienceIf you’re a founder, investor, or operator building in digital health, care delivery, or healthcare infrastructure, I’m always open to connecting.
