Our Team
"I've worked on every side of the table—founder, investor, advisor, executive—and bring that blended perspective to each client relationship. I love working closely with forward-thinking leaders, helping them filter the noise, set a clear vision, and execute with confidence."
Prior to founding Junto Health, Doug was partner and Executive Director of Blueprint Health, a health tech accelerator & micro-venture fund based in Soho, New York. Doug worked directly with 70+ startups, guiding them from the whiteboard to their first customers, investors, and advisors. While serving as Executive Director, Blueprint Health was named as one of the “10 Most Innovative Companies in Health” by Fast Company.
Doug received his BA from Dartmouth College, where he founded a social impact hedge fund, the Dartmouth Investment & Philanthropy Program (DIPP). The DIPP Fund was the first student-managed investment fund on the East Coast. Under his tenure, the DIPP portfolio outperformed the market and awarded those capital gains to philanthropic programs in New Hampshire's Upper Valley.

During his tenure as Managing Director at Blueprint Health, Doug saw a gap in the ecosystem. Executives across multiple verticals were working in similar problems, but were not working together to deliver innovative solutions.
There the first codevelopment consortium for digital health was born, bringing together dozens of member organizations like Samsung, Mount Sinai, AstraZeneca, and Aetna every quarter for private summits. Using Junto Health's unique process, members launched multi-stakeholder "cluster projects" around shared interests and market opportunities.
Our hands-on entrepreneurial experience, deep understanding of large enterprise innovation strategies, and our network of customers & capital providers makes Junto Health a trusted partner for forward-thinking organizations.
We're here to help you figure out the tough stuff. We’re scrappy, curious, and agile, and we lean into novel ideas. Junto Health works closely with our clients, often embedding directly into their teams in order to uncover new market opportunities, develop a launch strategy, and find early customers.
