ExplORer Surgical

I am the co-founder and GM of Explorer Surgical, the leading digital playbook for the operating room and procedure suites. Explorer Surgical was founded at the University of Chicago in 2015 out of a research laboratory in the Department of Surgery. After raising $10M in funding and commercializing our software to a global base of medtech and hospital customers, our company was acquired by GHX in 2021.

My passion is building innovative businesses in the healthcare industry, especially those that use technology to solve inefficiencies and improve patient care. I left my job as a healthcare venture capitalist to focus on building Explorer, but stay involved in the investing ecosystem as a Partner in Portfolia's FemTech Fund and as a GP at The Fund Midwest.

I have been fortunate to benefit from several key mentors in my career and to be a part of communities that bolster the entrepreneurial ecosystem and take pride in supporting other entrepreneurs and investors. Please include a note and reach out to connect!
