Innovation consulting firm and venture capital investment manager Healthbox has appointed Neil Patel to President and Chief Operating Officer. The announcement comes one month after former Healthbox CEO Nina Nashif stepped down pursue her own interests. Under his leadership, Neil will lead Healthbox’s vision of helping healthcare organizations successfully foster innovation.
Healthbox has evolved from a healthcare accelerator to an innovation consulting firm and venture capital investment manager. Last year, Healthbox partnered with Intermountain to establish a $35M innovation fund and launched the Foundry program, a proprietary evaluation and commercialization process that helps large healthcare organizations identify and advance internal innovation.
“In recent years, Healthbox has evolved from one of the first healthcare accelerators into a robust platform for innovation,” said Neil Patel in a statement. “I am excited to work with the Healthbox team to continue our evolution as we launch a new suite of products aimed at creating lasting transformation in the healthcare industry.”
