Summary
Yiding Yu is a physician-turned-entrepreneur with a decade of experience building and scaling AI-driven healthcare products, most recently as CMO then CPO at Olive where she replatformed product lines and led multiple strategic divestitures. She founded and exited Twiage, an emergency-response platform now standard in many 911 systems, and previously built Verata Health’s market-leading AI prior-authorization engine that was acquired by Olive. A Harvard economist and Duke-trained MD, Yiding blends clinical credibility with operator grit—leading 350-person organizations, negotiating payer partnerships, and winning awards from Cartier, the AMA, and the AHA. She continues to practice emergency medicine while advising and providing fractional CXO services through Yu & Company, bringing a rare combination of frontline clinical insight and commercial product leadership. One less obvious strength: she repeatedly converts clinical workflow pain points into defensible, enterprise-grade SaaS and AI products that attract strategic acquirers.
