Our Leadership
Roy Schoenberg, MD, MPH
Founder & CEO
Roy is a serial Health-tech entrepreneur. After founding and running both private and public companies, (now into his fourth venture), Roy’s Impact can be easily traced to everything from Tele-ICU to Patient Portals, the introduction of Telehealth and now Ai’s arrival into healthcare. He worked closely with leaders of our largest health systems, national and regional payers, blue chip tech companies, state and federal agencies, policy makers both in Washington and overseas.
After founding and running Amwell as CEO for 18 years, Roy transitioned to an executive board position so he can focus on his next disruption - a novel model for the use of Ai for caregiving and elder companionship. His groundbreaking ideas in this area have already captured the industry’s imagination as evident in the recent New England Journal of Medicine Catalyst publication.
Outside of his entrepreneurial endeavors, Roy chairs the MIT Sloan HSI healthcare advisory board . He is a member of the American Heart Association telehealth board and his hometown Mass General Brigham Patient Safety Research and Practice board. Previously, Roy served on the board of the American Telemedicine Association, where he was honored with the industry leadership award. He was inducted into the USCF hall of fame, and was repeatedly recognized by Modern Healthcare magazine as one of the 100 Most Influential People in Healthcare.
Roy holds an M.D. from The Hebrew University and an M.P.H. from Harvard. He is happiest next to a whiteboard or a microphone, believes in creative provocation, owns over 50 issued US patents and divides his time between Boston and the island of Nantucket with his wife and two children.
