I have always been drawn to the intersection of technology, healthcare, and entrepreneurship. As an entrepreneur, I can relate to the excitement of taking an idea to market. I learned the importance of a great team that can execute well and adapt to obstacles. As Director of Technology Discovery for Stanford Medicine X, I am fortunate now to be in a position to scout for promising entrepreneurs innovating technologies that will shape the future of medicine.
