About

Partner and Head of Healthcare & Life Sciences at Breyer Capital, a global venture firm and first investor in transformative companies such as Facebook, Spotify, Etsy, Marvel, Circle, ShieldAI, and OpenEvidence. As a physician and medical geneticist, I lead investments in healthcare and life sciences, focused on the application of computation to medicine from bench to bedside. I'm particularly interested in closing the gap between scientific discovery and care delivery. Previously at Bessemer Venture Partners, I built the firm's healthcare AI thesis in 2018 and sourced and led over a dozen investments including Hinge Health ($HNGE), Abridge, Plenful, Turquoise Health, and others.
