Summary
Joseph Gefroh is a seasoned product and engineering executive with 13 years of experience building high-performing teams and scalable web platforms across startups and growth-stage companies. Currently SVP of Product and Engineering at HealthSherpa, he has repeatedly doubled delivery speed, halved operational costs, and scaled systems to handle 5x–50x traffic surges while maintaining enterprise-grade uptime and security. He combines hands-on engineering and architecture skills (React, Rails, AWS, Snowflake) with product vision and go-to-market impact, contributing to products that generated tens of millions in revenue and closed multimillion-dollar deals. Joseph has a track record of operationalizing devops and lean practices to create clarity in fast-growing orgs—growing teams from single digits to 350+ and training multiple managers along the way. He’s equally comfortable in the codebase and the C-suite, and has a pragmatic founder mindset evidenced by co-founding a funded startup and offering fractional CTO services. Based in Seattle with a BS in Computer Science, he brings both relentless delivery focus and a knack for turning regulatory and market change into new business lines.
