It felt fitting to wrap up my career transition series and share the update I’d shared on my LinkedIn. After a month of catching up on my backlog – across National Parks and career transitions, we’ll be back to regular service tomorrow.
Update – I’m joining PayZen to lead the product team.
I’ve always been drawn to acute problems – those that are massive in scale and deeply personal in impact. After a decade working on the job search problem, I was drawn to healthcare affordability.
We’ve all experienced this: when there’s a health problem, everything stops. And yet affording the care they need is top of mind for millions of Americans. It’s so large, so complex… and yet so important.
What drew me in was what the team – led by Itzik and Tobias – has already built. Starting with payment plans and financial tools for patients and health systems, they’ve had real impact on patients and care providers. We all know healthcare affordability is a much larger problem – I believe we’re just getting started on what’s possible.
I’m grateful to Itzik for the opportunity – and it is all the more meaningful that this next chapter starts with Sanjeev, the person who took a bet on an eager grad student who dreamed of making it to the Bay Area and hired me into LinkedIn. Some things come full circle in the most wonderful ways.
PS: Healthcare is complex and I have a lot to learn. Alongside my notes on building LLM-powered products, do expect to see a lot more notes about the US healthcare system and the lessons learned along the way. :-)
