About Greg Jacobson

About KaiNexus: Founded in 2009, KaiNexus is a continuous improvement software company passionate about spreading continuous improvement. The intuitive platform facilitates improvement initiatives by reinventing the way businesses capture, implement, measure, share, and organize improvement. With consistent product enhancements, additions, and configurability, KaiNexus is the solution for any business looking to optimize the impact of their continuous improvement programs. About Me: I’m a physician turned start-up founder. When I entered the workforce as an ER resident and then attending, I quickly developed a passion for continuous improvement, Kaizen, and Lean. I immediately realized there were not any software systems to make this work easy, sustainable, transparent, reportable, inclusive, and scalable. Honestly, until the internet and cloud-based enterprise software appeared, coupled with the connect/collaborate mentality we have today, the possibility of solving this problem didn't exist. Since then, I have spent my time thinking about how to make improvement easier for companies while concurrently building KaiNexus. Working on an idea, building it, talking to our passionate customers, and building the KaiNexus team are some of the most rewarding experiences of my life. KaiNexus has become a living, breathing entity with a powerful sense of self and a mission to impact the world. Experience and Non-work Interests: While I still enjoy a couple of ER shifts per month, I've worked on KaiNexus full-time since 2010. When I am not working on KaiNexus or seeing patients, I am hanging out with my awesome wife and daughter, on a quest for the perfect pickle, or trying to figure out how I can play more guitar with 3 the Hard Way.
