Andrew Kress
Andrew Kress is the co-founder and CEO of HealthVerity, the Philadelphia company that built one of the largest real-world healthcare data ecosystems and the technology to link, govern and exchange it without exposing patient identities.

Kress also serves on the boards of Philadelphia cultural institutions including the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts.
