Background

About Mac Findlay

I grew up wanting to be a doctor, but during college I fell in love with economics and business; I decided instead to focus my efforts on changing healthcare care delivery and business models. A surprise $3K MRI bill, learning that the out-of-pocket price for physical therapy was cheaper than my insurance copay, waiting four months for a primary care visit, and watching my brother get bounced around mental health providers deepened my conviction that we urgently need to change healthcare. I joined CVS Health to work on accessible, affordable healthcare at scale. As the youngest director-level employee, I led projects to improve pharmacy operations, launch new services, and expand healthcare access in partnership with Lyft and the YMCA. Seeing impact across stores was exciting, but I was limited in many ways and felt a desire to go smaller and more direct. I worked on startup ideas during my two years at the Stanford Graduate School of Business, including an app that helped employees price shop for direct care services and share in the savings with their employer. Ultimately I decided I wanted to be closer to the care itself, and I launched Timshel Health. I live in the Bay Area but will always be Midwestern at heart. I am a die-hard Chicago sports fan, avid golfer and camper, and love being outdoors with my wife Rachel and dog Fitz.
