About Madelaine Wendzik

I bring structure to chaos, and healthcare has no shortage of it. I\'ve spent my career standing up early-stage products, from AI platforms to clinical tools, turning ambiguity into momentum. I\'m grounded in what matters most in this space: safety, bias, validation, and measurable impact.
