James Schaffer is a healthcare product and operations executive with 14 years of experience building AI-enabled platforms that scale from zero-to-enterprise. He has led product and go-to-market strategy across multiple exits, driving adoption of AI/LLM pipelines that cut policy and content build times by up to 80% and translated niche offerings into multi-module platforms used by hundreds of providers. James excels at building product teams and operating rhythms quickly—establishing full product organizations in under 120 days and stabilizing companies through leadership transitions. His background spans technical product design, real-world data platforms for oncology, and secure provider communications, with repeat success in revenue growth, top-rated clinical products, and strategic fundraising.
