Obehi Ukpebor Director of Product Management- Infusion Centers LeanTaaS Age: 33 Hometown: Warri, Nigeria
Alma Matter: Boston University, MIT
Years of Experience in Healthcare: 6
Growing up in Nigeria, Ukpebor experienced many inefficiencies he thought were normal until he moved to Boston for college. The most painful experience he encountered was an inadequate healthcare system and poorly run emergency department that failed to save a close family member’s life after a heart attack. In college, he chose a concentration in manufacturing engineering to learn about reducing operational inefficiencies and received his Master’s from MIT to prepare him for technical leadership roles and spent the next several years, including a year in Singapore, improving processes at large companies across manufacturing and software industries. Working at LeanTaaS has been a way for Ukpebor to improve processes that save lives of patients at scale, and over the past five years, this has been critical to the company’s ~10x growth leading to its $1 billion valuation.
