Senior🎓
Top SchoolEmily Burnette is an MBA candidate at Northwestern’s Kellogg School with a decade of cross-sector experience spanning healthcare consulting, venture investing, biomedical entrepreneurship, and asset management. She led clinical and operational transformation engagements at Optum—partnering with hospital executives to optimize workflows, tech adoption, and reduce length of stay—while supporting due diligence on billion-dollar deals. As a founder of MedTech startups and winner of Johns Hopkins’ business plan competition, she blends technical rigor (biomedical engineering research and patent work) with investor-grade frameworks for scaling healthcare technology. Earlier roles in fixed income trading and venture partnership sharpened her quantitative and diligence skills, enabling her to evaluate both clinical impact and financial return. Based in Palo Alto, she is passionate about the intersection of healthcare, technology, and social impact, and brings a knack for building teams and operational systems evidenced by growing MedHacks from a student project into a 750-person event. A long-time competitive rock climber and youth coach, she channels the same coaching mindset into leadership and stakeholder alignment.
