About Us

Meet Our Team

At Lilac we believe that transforming healthcare requires bringing together talent as multifaceted and disparate as the challenges that need to be solved. That is why our founding team possesses a mosaic of skills, knowledge, experiences and mindsets.

 

We are a team of technologists, Payer operators, entrepreneurs and, above all, relentless builders and problem solvers. We strike the balance of embracing innovation while holding healthcare’s mission with reverence. We care deeply about playing a role in changing our Healthcare system for the better but respect how important it is to find paths that also minimizes risk and disruption.

This founding DNA will shape how we build and scale Lilac. We believe that it’s crucial not only to our success, but also to the success of our customers and our ability to more broadly impact the healthcare system.
