About me
- Grew up and currently live in the DC area
- Spent part of my childhood as an ex-pat in the Middle East….also lived in Buffalo NY; yes, went from desert to blizzards!
- Neuroscientist -> consultant -> healthcare analytics -> healthcare consultant -> startup founder
- I'm currently on my 3rd startup (Lumi Health), second time founder
- My first startup was in mobile advertising - as in real moving ads on cargo vans. Took that to pilot with the largest radio station in DC.
- The last startup I was at (xG Health Solutions) at was backed by the Geisinger Health System and OAK HC/FT ($50m raised) - was in exec mgmt
What I'm working on
- Lumi Health improves outcomes for heart failure patients and the care experience for clinicians
- We do this through our AI-guided clinical navigation platform, think of it as 'Waze for clinicians'
- We've validated the market need, built our MVP, and are partnering with the American Heart Association in their Innovators' Network
What I could use help with
- Raising our Seed round - tales from the trenches and intro's to angels and vc's appreciated
- Looking for physicians for pilots - do you know any primary care/cardiologists that would be interested?
- Generally, would love to chat if you're deep in ML or doing anything in healthcare
How I can help
- Deep sales, BD, and product experience - launched approx 15 products and services into new markets for large, small, and startup co's
- Extensive experience in healthcare - tech, services, payers, providers, etc.
- Setting up your startup - the joys of legal, payroll, etc.
