Tanya Bakalov is the CEO and founder of HelloTeam, a Boston-based employee engagement and performance management platform she started in 2016. A Bulgarian immigrant and University of Delaware accounting graduate, she left Deloitte in 2005 to co-found SevOne, the network monitoring company she scaled with her husband from three people to more than 500 employees and roughly $100M in revenue before its acquisition. A 2016 EY Entrepreneur of the Year and Inc. Female Founders 500 honoree, she raised a $10M Series A led in large part by payroll billionaire Tom Golisano and is pointing HelloTeam at AI-driven employee retention.
Athena Doshi is the founder and CEO of Exactrx, a Nashville-based healthtech company building AI-native infrastructure that helps ambulatory surgery centers stop costly day-of cancellations and recover lost revenue. A two-time digital health founder who once turned down a medical school acceptance, she pairs a physiology and neuroscience background from UC San Diego with hands-on product work at Omada Health and Heartbeat Health. Her platform pairs autonomous, embedded checklists with a payer-rules engine running more than 80,000 rules, and she was named to Inc.'s 2025 Female Founders 500 list.
Richard Fine is Chief Business Officer at Zocdoc, where for more than a decade he has helped turn a doctor-booking marketplace into what he calls 'healthcare access infrastructure.' A two-time founder with two exits, he built Help Remedies, the over-the-counter brand that made aspirin boxes funny and won a Cannes Lion, and spent years as a brand strategist at Redscout working with Nike, PepsiCo and Diageo. Oxford-trained in Philosophy, Politics and Economics and raised by two epidemiology professors, he frames his work simply: he loves healthcare and hates its incentives, and at Zocdoc he gets to fix both.
