Dan Riskin: Leading with Authenticity

COVID brought medicine and politics together on the national stage, and left many Americans wondering: how are healthcare decisions actually made in Washington? As an M.D., inventor, and veteran Congressional speaker, our guest today Dan Riskin has the unique insight into both politics and healthcare to answer this question. His Congressional testimony in the 21st Century Cures Initiative in 2014 helped define the 21st Century Cures Act passed in 2015, and his companies and products influence the care of millions of patients annually. Dan is currently the CEO and founder of Verantos, as well as the adjunct professor of surgery and Biomedical Informatics Research at Stanford.  In this episode, Dan discusses healthtech career strategies and the power of authentic leadership.
