From Ideas to Execution: Scaling Healthcare Innovation with Sabrina Runbeck, fractional COO and CSO, and co-founder of PulsePoint Path

Healthcare innovation doesn’t fail for lack of ideas; it fails when execution, people, and focus aren’t aligned. In this episode, Sabrina Runbeck, fractional COO and CSO, and co-founder of PulsePoint Path, discusses building a collaborative execution model that connects early-stage health tech startups, clinicians, and investors. She explains why moving beyond passive referral-based growth is essential for scaling companies with clarity and real ROI. Sabrina breaks down how startups often miss critical go-to-market fundamentals, including a true client-acquisition strategy and accountable leadership. Drawing from her background in cardiothoracic surgery, she shares how clinicians can transition into scalable advisory, executive, and investor roles to create one-to-many impact.
