Rami Karjian is the head of the operating rooms business at LeanTaaS. Karjian began his journey in healthcare with McKinsey & Co, working together with health systems to improve patient flow across different areas of their hospitals. After a few years in the US, he moved to Asia to lead the firm’s Service Operations practice in the region.

After over a decade with McKinsey based in the US and Asia, working with clients across the globe, Karjian wanted the challenge and learning of directly taking on a scaled operating role. He joined Flextronics, as president of their global services division where he led a business of 15,000 employees with operations in 25 sites across the Americas, Europe and Asia. In addition to driving a transformation of over $1 billion in revenue, he also incubated and spun-out a supply-chain software as a service (SaaS) company.

Seeking the impact and mission-orientation of returning to his healthcare roots, Karjian left Flextronics to join a business incubator focusing on healthcare. After buying and scaling several businesses as an investor/incubator, Karjian and his co-founders launched Medically Home to provide all the software and services required for health systems to safely operate a hospital-at-home unit. Over the course of almost a decade, Karjian and his team raised significant investor capital to scale the world’s first virtual hospital company whose customers made up over 40% of all hospital-at-home patients in the country. Over his tenure as CEO, Karjian and his team mobilized a broad group of stakeholders in support of passing an act of Congress to secure Medicare payment for the model based on clinical trials that showed increased bed capacity, lower cost of care and improved patient mortality. He also brought on brand-name academic medical centers including Cleveland Clinic, Cedars Sinai, Mass General and Yale. With these strategic partnerships across the care-at-home ecosystem, he showcased the company’s model while driving a re-platforming of the software product to enable the next wave of growth and competitive differentiation for the company.
