Florian Otto

Florian Otto is the co-founder and CEO of Cedar, a New York healthcare financial technology company that reworks how patients understand and pay their medical bills. A former physician trained in Germany, Otto moved from medicine into consulting at McKinsey, built a daily-deals business in Brazil that became Groupon Brazil, and ran commercial sales at ZocDoc before starting Cedar in 2016. He built the company around a simple frustration - a confusing hospital bill his fiancee received - and a bigger question: why can't healthcare billing feel as clear as buying from Amazon or Expedia? Cedar has since raised roughly $400M+ and works with hospitals and health systems across the United States.
