SEEKING LEADERS AND DIGITAL HEALTH PROFESSIONALS
TiE Boston is currently looking for volunteers to serve as TiE Catalyst Fellows to help grow this effort past its incubation phase. Fellows will work closely with TiE Board and TiE Catalyst Chairs Jus Singh, Nikhil Bhojwani, Rishi Bhalerao, and Rakshit Sharma to manage the initiative, organize monthly meetings, set agendas, track budgets, and help recruit senior healthcare leaders, serving for a 1-year term renewable for a second year if there is a mutual interest.
Strong project management skills (or a desire to learn), ability to collaborate with senior leaders, and a career interest in applying technology to solve health and wellness problems are essential.
This is an extraordinary opportunity for early-stage professionals with an interest in digital health to network with senior decision makers, leverage and/or grow project management experience, and learn first-hand about various aspects of the digital health ecosystem. Ideal candidates would be aspiring entrepreneurs, MBA aspirants that seek a volunteer opportunity in support of recommendations, or professionals in digital health companies seeking to broaden their knowledge and connections.
For more information on the TiE Catalyst Digital Health Initiative or to get involved contact Rishi Bhalerao at rb2@rishibhalerao.com.
