Noel Greenberger
Noel Greenberger is the CEO of Nob Hill Therapeutics, an Albuquerque-based respiratory company building DryNeb, a dry powder nebulizer that pushes high therapeutic doses deep into the lungs regardless of a patient's breathing capacity. A Wharton MBA and Northwestern-trained industrial engineer, he spent years commercializing respiratory medicines at Sandoz, ran commercial strategy at Vertice Pharma, and consulted at McKinsey and ZS Associates before taking the helm of Nob Hill in 2022. Under his watch the company won a $1.73M HHS Phase II grant and closed a $3M Series A in 2024.
Ian Koons
Ian Koons is the co-founder and CEO of Karoo Health, an Albuquerque-based startup building tech-enabled, value-based cardiovascular care. A former college tennis player who once did post-game radio for an NFL team, Koons turned a personal loss - a best friend's fatal heart attack in 2014 - into a company that pairs on-site and virtual care teams with software to help cardiologists move from volume to value. Since founding Karoo in 2021, he has grown it to dozens of employees, raised seed funding, partnered with cardiology networks across roughly a dozen states, and teamed with Heartbeat Health to assemble a national end-to-end cardiac care solution.
