President and Co-founder
2006 - 2011
OrganizedWisdom® was one of the first wave of digital health companies and was the first digital doctors office. Our aim was to close the "Health Gap" and elevate the standard of care by inspiring all doctors and health experts to embrace the power of digital media and share their wisdom with patients. OrganizedWisdom builds online tools for clinicians so they can more effectively help their patients before, during and after an office visit. Our experience building OrganizedWisdom led us to create StartUp Health and helped us first establish and organize the early ecosystems of entrepreneurs and innovators focusing on health innovation.
