Speed, safety, and scale – Microsoft's playbook for health AI
Episode Description
In this episode, Unity Stoakes talks with Kimmi Grewal, Vice President of AI Ecosystem Partnerships at Microsoft, about what it actually takes for health innovators to turn AI potential into products, partnerships, and scale.
Grewal – who has served on the StartUp Health Impact Board since 2021 – draws on her background across management consulting, corporate venture capital, and private investing to explain why regulated industries like healthcare are moving faster than expected, why startups should build on existing models rather than reinvent them, and how to protect the data that makes a company defensible.
