At Citizen Health, we have a singular mission: to improve the lives of the 400+ million people navigating rare and complex conditions.

We empower patients with seamless access and control over their health data that they can share across our multi-sided platform with caregivers, providers and researchers to illuminate better treatment and support options, while bringing therapies to patients faster.

Led by a seasoned founding team with a history of success in healthcare and consumer startups, we are a mission driven startup team of builders, advocates, family caregivers, and researchers who have had first-hand experience across the spectrum of rare and complex diseases.

We support thousands of patients, work with a rapidly growing network of patient advocacy organizations, and innovate with leading biopharma organizations to accelerate therapies, always ensuring patients remain at the center.

At Citizen Health, our mission is to serve 400M+ people across 10,000+ rare diseases, 95% of which don't have a single treatment available. We are building an AI-powered platform that liberates and structures data on behalf of patients to radically improve rare and complex disease treatment, widen access to expert care, and revolutionize the development of new medicines at a fraction of the speed previously proven possible.

We are looking for mission driven builders - join our team!

Previously, I co-founded Ciitizen, a patient-controlled platform for digitizing and sharing health information to improve treatments and accelerate research. After Ciitizen’s acquisition by Invitae in 2021, I led Invitae’s Patient Network and Data business. My start-up 'upbringing' began at ZL Technologies, an early pioneer in Big Data enterprise SaaS.

I love traveling, food, tennis and diving. But most of all, spending time with my wife, son and 11-pound maltipoo!
