Hursh Desai
Healthcare strategy, applied AI, finance and operations.
I’m a Cornell Johnson MBA graduate with a foundation in neuroscience and medical training. My work connects the clinical, operational and financial sides of healthcare with the practical use of AI.
From healthcare to applied AI
Healthcare strategy and operations
At Optum Advisory Services, my work included clinical technology, Epic EHR integration and Medicare Advantage strategy. Medical training and neuroscience research shaped how I approach the systems behind care.
Finance and investment analysis
My Cornell MBA and investment banking experience at Guggenheim Securities added a financial perspective. Private equity work at Dioun Health included healthcare acquisitions, sourcing and financial modeling.
Applied AI evaluation
As an independent consultant, I work with companies supplying expert data to frontier AI labs. Through these contracting partners, I design evaluations and review model outputs for accuracy and reliability.
Education and clinical foundation
I studied neuroscience at the University of Michigan, attended Edward Via College of Osteopathic Medicine before pivoting from medicine, and earned my MBA at Cornell Johnson.
