• Frazier Healthcare Partners is a 30 year old Private Equity & Venture Capital firm singularly focused on the healthcare sector.
• As a Partner for Data & AI at Frazier, I have a dual role. My first one is to seek out investments in healthcare companies that can benefit from our involvement - we are always on the lookout for data rich companies that can accelerate with additional investment.
• The second one is advising, guiding, coaching and influencing Frazier portfolio companies on Data and AI strategies and helping them with prioritization of tactics to generate the most enterprise value. In that capacity, I am actively working with Comprehensive Pharmacy Services (which has managed hospital pharmacies for 45 years), Parata Systems (Maker of Robotic Pharmacy dispensing systems), Matrix Medical Network (leading clinical services organization for at-risk population), & Dascena (which develops algorithms as predictive biomarkers for complex conditions).

• Decision Resources Group (DRG) [Acquired by Clarivate Analytics] is the premier provider of healthcare analytics, data and insight products and services to the world's leading pharma, biotech and medical technology companies.
• As EVP/Chief Product and Technology officer, I was responsible for nearly all of the product revenue (90%), and 50% of the employees of the company.

In the short time, we were able to accelerate the business (double digit growth compared 2% for prior 6 years), create a compelling strategy, simplify the organization, enthrall customers and energize the company. This generated a ton of excitement in the market & exponentially increased our enterprise value.
• We closed the sale of DRG to Clarivate Analytics for $950M in Feb 2020.

• I led athena.intelligence, a division of athenahealth, responsible for all things data and AI, including strategy, product management, engineering and data science.
• It was incredibly satisfying to create athena’s first data and AI strategy - convincing the board, the executive team and clients, attracting an amazing set of people (from Google, Amazon, IBM etc) to join in the journey & building impactful offerings (reducing physician burnout, complete patient profile) and business results ($20M EBITDA annual savings (est.)).
• One of the most gratifying accomplishments of the team was in delivering a cloud-based production data lake with over 2 trillion rows of data, 80 billion row daily change, & creating a nimble way to share data in a SaaS model. Another was to create a truly elastic machine learning platform that could deliver predictions from 100+ML models at sub second latency at massive volumes.

• I worked with an amazing team of 600+ developers, business analysts and product managers in 14 locations in three areas.
• The first was in building out a "Machine Learning as a Service" Platform offering that incorporates an array of the best machine (and deep) learning tools and algorithms, packaged in an easy to train & deploy offering, and as importantly, with the ability to re-train and re-deploy rapidly.
• The second aspect of my job was in building the foundation that is central to all knowledge i.e Data. Building out the "Watson Data Platform" to persist all manner of structured & semi-structured data was exciting. Throw in two very interesting companies (Compose and Cloudant) made it a whole another level of "Cool".
• The third was driving innovative ways of blending machine learning, open source and data so that we can help clients find the "diamonds in the rough" -- predictably and precisely. A similarly thrilling part of my job was that I was responsible for driving innovation and organically creating unicorn businesses for IBM in the Data & AI space. We incubated a spectrum of cool ideas including innovative ways of driving analytics on blockchain data, virtual reality-based data visualization, a nifty to efficiently run Monte Carlo simulations on the cloud.
