Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolMike Wenger is a chief innovation officer and founder with over a decade of hands-on product and engineering leadership focused on clinical research and health tech. He has built and scaled multiple startups and platforms—several acquired by larger players—bridging patient engagement, site workflows, and AI-enabled solutions used by hospitals, pharma, and patient advocacy groups. A product-focused software developer at heart, he consistently moves AI capabilities from proof-of-concept into production while recruiting and mentoring cross-functional teams new to the clinical research domain. His work spans the full stack and the ecosystem—from EMR integrations and mobile patient experiences to two-sided marketplaces that accelerated COVID-19 trial enrollment and drove multimillion-dollar revenue. Based in Wilton, CT, he combines entrepreneurial grit with deep domain expertise and a track record of turning clinical workflow challenges into scalable, site-centric technology. An unexpected thread through his career is long-standing commitment to mission-driven projects, from global volunteer work to nonprofit tech that informed his patient-first product lens.
