This week was extra special! I had the pleasure of keynoting at the Serious Business conference hosted by the Neill corporation...and sharing that lovely stage in New Orleans with the very talented Esther Perel. While her work deals with interpersonal relationships and mine is more in the business realm, there’s still so much overlap. While I speak on marketing and sales and the very tangible realities of succeeding in business, the bigger issues I address deal with the anxieties and overwhelm of the digital age, and hopefully if I’m doing my job right...how to deal with it with a little zen. ;) #business #keynote #conferences #consumerbehavior …see more

I had a great time at TechSparks sharing my observations on the evolution of the startup ecosystem over the years. The last decade had its fair share of ups and downs but the learnings for the industry were invaluable. I truly believe the future of Indian startups is great and am optimistic on the growth of the Indian startup ecosystem. A big shout out to Shradha Sharma and the YourStory Media team for bringing together the community; the energy through the day was palpable. …see more

If you attended the keynote, you already know what I’m talking about. 😉 #marketingstrategy #keynotespeaker #digitalmarketing …see more

Can’t describe my excitement right now!! Our SoGal Ventures seed stage investment in March 2017 is now a $1.3 Billion dollar unicorn 🦄 !!! BlackRock and many amazing new investors including women focused Portfolia joined this $175M Series D round. We are incredibly fortunate to be supporters of Julia Cheek and the diverse Everlywell team!! They’ve been surpassing expectations every month, every quarter, and every year. They showed amazing leadership this year during Covid and pioneered at home Covid tests despite being a 90-person startup. As a solo founder, Julia not only led the company to be successful beyond metrics, but also created an inclusive space for her team to grow, scale, and thrive. 3 years ago when we started the fund, barely anyone believed Elizabeth Galbut and I could be VCs, or that focusing on investing in women makes any sense. Yet here we are!! Standards are meant to be broken and broadened. I hope this story inspires you to break into anything you want to be in, and use your difference to make a real, big impact 👊🏼 #startup #venturecapital #investment #digitalhealth #entrepreneur …see more

I've been waiting for this moment for months! Npj digital medicine, the digital health journal of Nature Research (Publishing) , published our original research about artificial intelligence-based FDA-approved medical devices and algorithms. It's our first publication in such a high-level journal. We aimed at filling two gaps: 1) The FDA should assess and approve A.I.-based medical devices and algorithms differently from others. 2) There should be an accessible database of such algorithms and devices as the FDA's website doesn't make it possible. Our team put a huge effort into creating an open access database and as the paper is available to everyone for free, please use it and share it if you find it useful! If you find any new items or we have missed something, please send your submissions, we'll cross-check it and update the database constantly. Hopefully, the FDA will soon take control over the database as they have the right resources to keep it growing. Thanks Pranavsingh Dhunnoo, M.D. , Stan Benjamens , and Adam Moroncsik for the gargantuan work put into this effort! #DigitalHealth #AIHealthcare #FDA #HealthcareAI #HealthcareAIDatabase …see more

President Ram Nath Kovind received the first copy of the book “Making of New India” at Rashtrapati Bhavan on Tuesday. Feeling nice as I have written a chapter -- "Banking Sector Reforms: The Unfinished Agenda".

First time in Canada. Had so much fun engaging with students and speaking about Design X Marketing X Gen Z at Thompson Rivers University ! 🇨🇦 In my keynote, I spoke about how design thinking and empathy should be used by entrepreneurs and marketers to design human-centric products and campaigns, respectively.

Exhausted but happy after giving a keynote about why healthcare needs a trip to Mars to 300 clinicians in Switzerland at the Hirslanden Doctors' Summit. I got challenging questions but more and more often these days physicians stand up not to ask a question but to share a story why they envision their future with digital health technologies and empowered patients. This was the first time I addressed the need for empowered physicians too. #keynote #keynotespeaker #speakerlife #future #digitalhealth …see more
