Achievements
Prior to the NPGL, Jim was Founder and CEO of WellnessFx™ a venture backed San Francisco based company that provides inexpensive, profile driven access to targeted health content, diagnostic and telehealth services, and HIPAA secure storage. In December 2013 the company merged with Health Elements/Thorne Research in a private transaction.
In 1995, Jim founded Sapient Health Network (SHN) which became the Consumer facing business of WebMD. As President of SHN, Jim pioneered the concept of online consumer health communities, building some of the largest and most loyal groups on the Web today. The company’s service was named one of the “Seven Best Websites of 1998” by Business Week. In 1999, SHN merged with WebMD and later Healtheon to form the current version of WebMD. SHN represented the consumer side of the merged companies.
After WebMD, Jim served as Entrepreneur in Residence with Alloy Ventures of Palo Alto.
