Oscar Health CPO on Building Healthcare Products

Sara Wajnberg

Oscar Health, Chief Product Officer

I am the Chief Product Officer at Oscar Health, the first health insurance company built to make health care easy. I have 15+ years of startup product experience and have a passion for complex, creative problem-solving, and building/mentoring teams. My professional experience ranges with respect to industry (from e-commerce to health insurance!) and area of focus (from mobile apps to back-end/data infrastructure). At Oscar I use my background in technology and product management to help humanize and simplify the health care experience. Oscar's commitment to improving health care for its members is what drew me to the company in the first place and what keeps me passionate about the problems we are solving. The Oscar member experience includes a personalized concierge team, a free, 24/7 Doctor on Call service, and a tightly integrated, curated network of first-rate physicians and hospitals. Oscar has a presence in 14 states and currently offers individual, small group and Medicare Advantage. Say hi or learn more at https://hioscar.com or follow us at https://twitter.com/OscarHealth.
