Collective Health today announced the addition of digital health
entrepreneur, investor, and industry luminary Halle Tecco to its
board of directors.
Tecco is a pioneering force in the healthcare industry, known
for her deep expertise in digital health and her commitment to
fostering innovation. As the founder and former CEO of Rock Health,
the first venture fund dedicated to digital health, Tecco has been
at the forefront of driving transformative change in how technology
can be best employed to improve health outcomes. Her strategic
insights and leadership have been widely recognized, as she has
previously been named one of Goldman Sachs's Most Intriguing
Entrepreneurs and was listed as one of Fast Company's Most Creative
People in Business 2023.
"Halle Tecco is a trailblazer in the digital health arena," said
Ali Diab, co-founder and CEO of Collective Health. "As an
accomplished healthcare investor, educator, and thought leader,
Halle brings an invaluable and comprehensive perspective to our
board. Her extensive experience in digital health investing and her
passion for fostering innovation align with Collective Health’s
mission to leverage data, technology, and exceptional user
experience design to help people better navigate our highly complex
healthcare system. We are excited to harness Halle's insights and
expertise as we continue to grow and evolve, and I am personally
thrilled to welcome Halle to our board."
Tecco’s experience as an investor in the future of healthcare
began over 13 years ago as an angel and limited partner (LP)
investor and the founder of Rock Health. Since then, she has gone
on to co-found companies Cofertility and Natalist, which had a
successful exit in 2021. Additionally, Tecco writes about industry
trending topics on her blog and co-hosts The Heart of Healthcare, a
podcast focused on improving the health and wellbeing of all
Americans.
Tecco currently serves as an Adjunct Professor at Columbia
Business School, where she created and teaches the first MBA-level
course on investing in digital health startups. She earned an MPH
from Johns Hopkins University, an MBA from Harvard Business School,
and a B.S. from Case Western Reserve University. Tecco also
currently serves on the Boards of RESOLVE and the International
African American Museum and has been an Advisor to the Harvard
Medical School Department of Biomedical Informatics since 2014.
“When I first entered the world of digital health, there was no
blueprint. However, I always stood firm in my belief that
technology could be harnessed to address healthcare’s biggest
complexities and challenges, and to improve health outcomes,” said
Tecco. “It is that same belief that has grounded me as the industry
has grown exponentially over the years, and the possibility to
enact system-wide change is finally becoming a reality. I'm
thrilled to join Collective Health's board of directors and am
eager to help propel the company forward in its mission to make
healthcare more affordable—and much easier to understand and
navigate—for American companies and their workforces.”
