I am a global healthcare leader, recognized for my work in healthcare transformation and health equity advocacy. I’m a pediatric critical care physician and the former president and CEO of Intermountain Healthcare. I’ve joined General Catalyst to launch and lead the Health Assurance Transformation Company (HATCo), a new business owned by GC with the mission to deliver health and wellness collaboratively, compassionately, and courageously—for all people.

As president and CEO of Intermountain, I led the organization to reimagine healthcare operations and champion innovation and collaboration to ensure that our 60,000 caregivers had access to the technology and tools needed to best reach, serve, and empower patients. In my first five years, I executed a disciplined growth strategy with significant investments in telehealth and rural health, expanding Intermountain’s service area from primarily Utah communities to serving patients throughout the Mountain West. 

Under my leadership, Intermountain embraced unconventional, public-private partnerships to tackle some of the most pressing systemic challenges facing communities and the industry. We proactively worked to keep people well and make communities healthier. These initiatives helped catalyze the national movement toward value-based care, advance clinical education, and establish a new Digital Hippocratic Oath—developed by Graphite, a company co-founded by Intermountain—to improve hospital data interoperability and secure patient privacy rights. 

During my tenure, we partnered with over 1,000 hospitals nationwide to launch Civica Rx, a nonprofit generic drug manufacturer and distributor, aimed at making generic medications—like insulin, which we plan to offer in 2024—more accessible and affordable. We were also a founding member of the Utah Alliance for the Determinants of Health, a collaboration of community partners focused on addressing the forces that affect people's ability to stay healthy. Additionally, we partnered with an international genomics leader and over 100,000 volunteers to advance medical breakthroughs to help prevent and treat genetic diseases globally.

Before leading Intermountain, I served as CEO of Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi, chief of international business development at Cleveland Clinic, and chief medical operations officer at Cleveland Clinic. Fortune recognized me as one of the Top 50 World’s Greatest Leaders in 2019, and Modern Healthcare has consistently named me among the Most Influential People in Healthcare. I’m also the author of Possibility Unleashed: Pathbreaking Lessons for Making Change Happen in Your Organization and Beyond, a guide for leaders on overcoming fear, transcending discord and polarization, and driving positive systemic and societal change.

I received my undergraduate degree from Haverford College and my medical degree from Dartmouth Medical School. I completed a pediatric residency and pediatric critical care fellowship at Intermountain’s Primary Children’s Hospital, and earned a Master of Medical Management from Carnegie Mellon University.

I’m an all-American triathlete and represented the U.S. at the 2014 World Championships. I’m also a two-time cancer survivor and nine-time Ironman participant. Above all, I’m a loving husband and proud father of three adult children.
