Johanna Kim

Bio

I’m an accomplished healthtech leader with deep experience in launching & leading research teams. I’m directly responsible for building programs and partnerships, leading teams through all phases of research. I’m especially adept at cultivating interdisciplinary and academic/industry collaborations and navigating complexities inherent to the healthcare space.

My work has supported development of novel technologies and applications, helped to generate substantial research funding, and contributed to numerous high-impact publications. My career has spanned diverse contexts, including academic medical centers, university research labs, and health clinics. My passion for people, operations, and the belief that technology can improve health has been the driving force of my career for the last 20 years.

Of all the things I value most in my career, working for a meaningful cause is at the top of the list. I enjoy working with brilliant clinicians, scientists and engineers who have bold, audacious ideas to improve human health. I thrive in “start-up” cultures where collaboration and excitement are the norm, bringing cross-disciplinary and cross-functional teams together to incubate new solutions. I love the satisfaction that comes from working with a close-knit team to develop and deploy innovations in clinical practice.
