Description

What does it actually take to drive innovation inside one of the most complex industries in the world? Join the Tampa Bay Tech InnovatHERS & Allies Council for an intimate, members-only conversation with Rachel Feinman — a healthcare innovator, venture investor, startup mentor, and former attorney who has spent her career turning bold ideas into transformative outcomes.

As Senior Vice President of Innovation, Venture and Digital Solutions at Tampa General Hospital and Managing Director of TGH Ventures, Rachel sits at the intersection of healthcare, entrepreneurship, and technology investment. She'll share the unfiltered realities of building innovation culture from within a large institution, scaling solutions that actually stick, and leading with purpose in an industry where the stakes couldn't be higher.
