About Ashok Balakrishnan

Ashok Balakrishnan is Chief Technology Officer at Charlie Health. Location: New York, New York, United States.

I build AI products, platforms, and the teams that ship them. Most recently in healthcare, where being wrong has consequences. Before Charlie Health, I was CTO of K Health, the clinical AI company behind virtual primary care at Cedars-Sinai, Mass General Brigham, Northwell Health, Hartford HealthCare, Hackensack Meridian Health, and Mayo Clinic. We built a clinic operating system — AI for patients, clinicians, and operations — running Engineering, Product, Design, AI/ML, Data, and Security as one org. Before healthcare: marketplaces, connected fitness, global e-commerce, streaming, retail, supply chains. Startups and Fortune companies.
