I started as a clinician. I trained as a physical therapist, worked with patients, and got close enough to the healthcare system to see exactly where it was breaking down. Then I went back for a PhD in clinical research, focusing on the discipline of taking what science knows and making it actually useful in the real world. Somewhere in that process I realized the real gap was in the products connecting them.
That's when I became a product builder.
My career since has followed a single logic: find the gap in health that no one has built for yet, then build the thing. I founded Bunnii because fertility data was completely fragmented and I knew exactly what that cost. At Progyny, the gap was supplemental fertility insurance: no product existed for small to mid-market employers outside the standard employer plan. We built the first one. At RVO Health, it's an AI system for how 70M+ monthly readers get medically reviewed content.
I'm most useful at the start of things, when the problem is clear but the path isn't, and the team is small enough that everyone's decision matters. I've done this work inside companies and as a founder. I know what it feels like when there's no playbook.
I also interview founders who shut down their companies. The series is called The Final Update. I started it because the most useful things anyone ever told me about building came from people talking about failure.
