In this episode, Dr. Nisha Mehta is joined by Dr. Neel Shah, CMO, Maven Clinic.
They discuss:
– How Dr. Shah transitioned from a very academic, clinical, and public health focused role to a CMO for a rapidly growing startup
– What the role of a Chief Medical Officer at a startup entails, and how it changes as the startup takes off, and what skills you need to acquire
– How virtual health, wearables, and direct to consumer healthcare are going to radically change the way we deliver healthcare
– How a CMO sets the ethos of a healthcare company, but the importance of the expertise non-clinicians bring to disrupt a sclerotic system
– Big changes he foresees in the public discourse on healthcare in 2026
