My Career in Data Season 4 Episode 04: Ron Zionpour, Chief Technology Officer, Healthee

Welcome back to an all new season of My Career in Data – a DATAVERSITY Talks podcast where we sit down with professionals to discuss how they have built their careers around data.This episode we speak with Ron Zionpour, Chief Technology Officer, Healthee. At six years old, he never dreamed of becoming a CTO. He grew up in the 90’s taking apart old radios and flashlights to reassemble them into something more useful, inspired by his father's electronics work and driven by an innate desire to solve problems and create. When his love of math and science led him to computer science in college, he started at a large corporation but quickly left for an early-stage tech startup. Listen how he spent eight and a half years growing from junior developer to VP of Engineering, discovered he loved leading people more than writing code but stayed obsessed with technical details and knowing the platform better than anyone. As well as landing at Healthee to help people navigate the confusing U.S. healthcare system by turning complex benefits information into clear, actionable insights through AI built on rock-solid data foundations. Never miss an episode – subscribe to the DATAVERSITY weekly newsletter.Learn more about Healthee.Connect with Ron Zionpour  on LinkedIn.Interested in being a guest?
