About Oakkar Oakkar

I am a passionate and visionary entrepreneur who stops at nothing to accomplish the mission. I love healthcare, technology, and AI and by combining them all with a touch of sex appeal, I believe I can make a dent in healthcare. I am the CEO and co-founder of Keona Health, which creates a one-of-a-kind Agentic AI platform connecting patients and their care providers in the most meaningful way possible. I have been having the time of my life building Keona Health from the ground up, developing awesome products,assembling a dream team, connecting with thought leaders and visionaries to adopt our technology, and working with awesome investors and partners to take Keona Health to the next level. Since I spent a big chunk of my life in Hawaii, I have tremendous love for surfing. I get a lot of inspirations when I am surfing. You can tell by the logo of Keona Health. I also train mixed martial arts, which taught me how to endure pain, stay calm while you are getting beat up, and to intelligently compete with bigger, stronger and better looking opponents :)Lately, I have been working on improving myself with regards to growth hacking, recruiting and retaining top talent, effective communication, and getting my ego in check (which turns out to be the most challenging of all).
