Nova Syed has spent the last 15 years at the intersection of healthcare, technology, and business. Healthcare is not for the faint of heart, and some of her industry "battle scars" include:

• Managed a $2.3 billion fund to accelerate COVID-19 pandemic response through diagnostics infrastructure.
• Shepherded the adoption of new medical devices and digital health solutions inside a $75B single-payer health system.
• Product leader at a deep tech startup in cell therapies that raised a $25M Series A.
• Co-founded a voice AI startup to reduce staff burnout in dental practices.
