Vivek Garipalli
CEO of Clover Health
Vivek Garipalli is a leading international business expert with a focus on the healthcare industry. He has spent the majority of his career starting and developing pioneering healthcare businesses that improve the service patients receive. In fact, Vivek founded five healthcare companies before the age of 40. He has used this considerable experience in the field to co-found Clover Health, a disruptive company that aims to transform the healthcare structure for the better. Prior to establishing Clover Health, Vivek co-founded CarePoint Health in 2008, which is a vertically and horizontally integrated healthcare system in New Jersey. He has recently extended this venture with CarePoint Health Plans, a unique model in the health insurance space that concentrates on the Medicare Advantage Market. When Vivek Garipalli founded CarePoint Health and Clover Health, he saw there was a substantial misalignment between healthcare providers and insurance firms. Vivek intended to decrease doctor-insurer friction whilst increasing the visibility into the health of every patient. He realized that this would improve the service patients receive while making it more accessible. Very little had been done for the uninsured and underinsured patient groups, and Vivek wanted to change that trend. On top of Clover Health and CarePoint Health, Vivek Garipalli co-founded a healthcare services revenue cycle business called Ensemble health. He was also one of the founding investors of Flatiron Health, in which he took an active role on the board in guiding its strategy and growth, ending in its sale to Roche in 2018. Vivek also sits on the board for Doctor Evidence and Medically Home, two innovative companies within healthcare technology. Prior to his entrepreneurial work in healthcare, Vivek Garipalli began his career at Credit Suisse First Boston and following this he held a position at J.P.Morgan Partners’ private equity fund. He went on to work at the Blackstone Group, where his focus focused into restructuring and reorganizing in an advisory capacity. Vivek Garipalli started his journey in business at the University of Emory, where he studied business administration with a focus on entrepreneurship. On top of his successful career, Vivek has supported a number of charities, including The Bowery Mission, a charity that tackles homelessness in New York and Newark.

Darryl Rawlings
Founder & CEO of Trupanion
Darryl Rawlings is an animal lover and serial entrepreneur. As Trupanion’s CEO and founder, he brought transparency and value to the pet insurance business. His appreciation of the special relationship between pets, pet owners and veterinarians led him to invent a new kind of pet insurance. Trupanion insurance is designed to ensure that pet owners and veterinarians can make the best decisions about a pet’s health. It does not punish pet owners for making claims. It is the only pet insurance that has no limits. Trupanion is an industry leader in terms of its product, but also in terms of its organization. In order to provide high quality customer service, Darryl developed the concept of Territory Partners, who work closely with veterinarians and are vested in the long-term success of Trupanion. Everything about the company is designed to create long-term alignment between all stakeholders. Darryl was born in Vancouver, Canada, and studied business at BCIT. Before his launch as an entrepreneur, he worked as Director of Sales and Marketing at Telos Engineering, where he was responsible for cellular network sales in North and South America and Africa. Before that, he sold encryption technology to the cellular and military markets at Cycomm International. In 1994 he founded his first business, the Canadian Cigar Company. As an international importer of over 1,000 varieties of quality cigars, the Canadian Cigar Company served international cigar club proprietors, four-star hotels and bars, exclusive golf resorts, and retail stores. Darryl successfully grew the company and sold it in 1999. He used the proceeds from the sale to found Trupanion (as Vetinsurance, in Canada) in 1999. Between 1999 and 2005 Darryl refined his pet insurance product and business model in Canada. In 2004 the company became the first profitable North American pet health insurance provider, and a year later had grown by 4% per month for the previous twenty-four months, with the highest rates of retention and consumer satisfaction in the industry. In 2005, Darryl decided to expand into the United States and to become the first North American pet insurance provider to become licensed to do its own underwriting. In 2007, the company raised $22 million from Maveron (a leading VC fund specializing in consumer branded products), RenaissanceRe ($4 billion reinsurance company) and a large private equity group. The company was rebranded as Trupanion. In 2008, a Series B round followed. Darryl balances his time between building the world’s best pet insurance company and his wife Caroline and their two young sons, Sam and Bennett. Occasionally he gets in a day of boating.

As co-founder and CEO of health tech startup Take Command, Jack’s practical insurance advice has been featured in The New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, BenefitsPro, Bloomberg, Employee Benefit Adviser, and more. Under his leadership, the company just celebrated its best year yet, with 400% increases in signups over last year and a $12M Series A (in the midst of a pandemic, an unstable economy, and combative political atmosphere).Prior to co-founding Take Command in 2014, Jack was a strategy consultant at the Boston Consulting Group and an intelligence officer for the FBI and CIA. He twice received an innovation award from the Director of the FBI and was awarded for distinguished service overseas by the Director of the CIA. He earned his MBA from the Wharton School of Business where he focused on entrepreneurial management. A Dallas native and a proud Aggie, Jack wears Under Armor proudly (and exclusively), shamelessly cracks dad jokes, is a father of three boys, and a tech junkie (ask him about the robot he bought for his wife that was supposed to cook dinner). An outspoken champion and recognized thought-leader for consumer-driven healthcare, Jack currently serves as the Chairman of the HRA Council. His motto? “Health insurance was never meant to be this complicated.”
