Eric Rock
Eric Rock is the co-founder and CEO of Percipio Health, a Dallas-based company using AI and an ordinary smartphone - no medical devices - to collect whole-person health signals for scalable population health monitoring. A serial healthcare and technology entrepreneur, Rock previously founded ProHost (acquired by OpenTable), MEDHOST (a pioneering touchscreen emergency-department EMR), and Vivify Health, which grew into one of the largest remote patient monitoring platforms before Optum acquired it.

Linda Finkel
Linda Finkel is a healthcare technology executive who runs OutcomesAI, a Boston-based company pairing AI voice agents with licensed nurses to expand nursing capacity through its Glia engine. Before OutcomesAI she spent over a decade building AVIA into the country's leading digital transformation partner for health systems, first as president from 2014 and then as CEO from 2020. A Stanford BA and Harvard MBA, she earlier ran large international services companies including Bowne Business Solutions and Donnelley Business Services, and pivoted to healthcare after watching her father's 91-day ICU stay reveal both the heroism and the gaps in modern care. She has been named one of the Top 50 Women Leaders in Healthcare.
Thaddeus Fulford-Jones
Thaddeus Fulford-Jones is the London-born, MIT-trained engineer who co-founded and leads Radial (formerly Radial Analytics), a Concord, Massachusetts healthtech company that uses AI to guide clinicians through the high-stakes 'crossroads moments' of patient care - especially deciding where a patient should go after leaving the hospital. A serial founder, he earlier built and sold Locately, a pioneering GPS shopper-analytics firm acquired in 2012, before turning his fascination with behavioral 'nudge theory' and large-scale data toward value-based care. Radial's platform has analyzed data from 18 million patients and 82 million encounters to help more people recover safely at home.
Brenda Choy
Brenda Choy is the CEO of Healthentic, a Seattle health-analytics company that turns dense claims and clinical data into reports health plans can actually act on. She climbed the whole ladder inside one company - senior engineer, senior product manager, director of engineering, managing director, then chief executive - which is rare in an industry that loves to parachute in outside executives. An MIT-trained engineer who started her career writing software at Thomson Reuters, she runs a small team built on a single conviction: the answer is usually already in the data, if someone bothers to make it legible.
Christopher Skowronek
Christopher Skowronek is the Chief Executive Officer of NuvoAir Medical, a Boston-based, virtual-first specialty care company built around the people most healthcare leaves waiting: patients with complex heart and lung conditions. He climbed into the top job after running growth and business for the company, and after two decades shaping sales and operations strategy across payers, providers and care-management platforms like Lumeris and Bamboo Health. His operating creed, borrowed from NuvoAir's own motto, is blunt: no one left behind. In 2026 he steered the company through the sale of its clinical-trials arm to Strados Labs so NuvoAir could do one thing without distraction - deliver cardiopulmonary care to patients across the country.
Colby Takeda
Colby Takeda is the co-founder and CEO of Pear Suite, a digital health company that gives community health workers the software, billing tools, and data infrastructure to be recognized as a foundational part of the healthcare system. A fourth-generation Japanese American from O'ahu, registered community health worker, and former senior living executive, he built Pear Suite during the pandemic on Google Sheets and Typeform before turning it into a care navigation platform that supports thousands of frontline workers. In October 2025 the company raised a $7.6 million Series A led by Rock Health Capital to expand its reach into Medicaid and Medicare markets.
Gokul Mohan
Gokul Mohan is the co-founder and CEO of CareHarmony, a Brentwood, Tennessee health-tech company that pairs machine learning with around-the-clock clinical teams to deliver chronic care management and care coordination at scale. A Wharton finance and entrepreneurship grad with a biomedical engineering degree, he traded a Morgan Stanley and McKinsey track for a bet that the gap between a doctor's visit and a patient's daily life is where healthcare actually breaks. CareHarmony serves dozens of hospitals and health systems across more than 20 states and raised a $15M Series A led by Maverick Ventures in 2022.
Nigel Ohrenstein
Nigel Ohrenstein is the CEO of Diagnostic Robotics, a Boston-based AI healthcare company building predictive tools for population health, triage, and care management. A UK-born former lawyer turned consultant, he has spent more than two decades operating at the front edge of value-based care: he scaled Express Scripts' Medicare business from under $10 million to over $500 million, co-founded the value-based care leader Lumeris, and served as president of both Kaia Health and TeleTracking Technologies before taking the helm at Diagnostic Robotics.

A seasoned operator with 25+ years of C-suite experience across industries ranging from toys to big data, Pease is perhaps best known for steering Hustle - a venture-backed peer-to-peer texting platform - from the brink of shutdown to a profitable $29M exit in under two years. He joined Clarify in October 2024 as CFO and COO before ascending to CEO, bringing financial discipline and operational rigor to a company that has raised over $400M and serves as healthcare's premier analytics intelligence platform.
