This is the kind of healthcare CEO most health tech startups should have -- someone who lives and breathes the system, intimately knows it's flaws but still has the vision and desire to change it. That is the rare and valuable skill in healthcare -- even more rare than engineering or operations skill

Rushika Fernandopulle, the healthcare CEO I most admire, fits this profile

The new company will be based in Boston. I wonder if this is a harbinger of Amazon’s HQ2 opening in Boston as well.

Maybe, but that's where Atul is and Boston is an epicenter of healthcare innovation
