David Portnoy is a founder and CEO with 11+ years building data-driven healthcare technology and analytics platforms that bridge clinical outcomes and financial operations. He launched 1Phi, an AI-powered healthcare navigator trained on claims from 100M+ patients to match individuals with treatment options and clinicians tied to superior outcomes, and previously co-founded Validate Health, a value-based care optimization platform acquired by Oliver Wyman. His experience ranges from leading engineering and product teams as CTO to creating the Demand-Driven Open Data (DDOD) program inside HHS, the first inter-agency effort to make government healthcare data more usable for industry. A technical PMPA and MBA holder with roots in computer science and electrical engineering, he combines product-minded engineering with policy-level data strategy. Notably, he has repeatedly turned open data and large claims sets into commercially viable intelligence—an unusual mix of public-sector influence and startup exit experience. Based in the Greater Chicago area, he focuses on scalable AI applications that measurably improve clinical decision-making and health system performance.
