On this week’s episode, we chat with Rob Gilmore, Founder and CEO of RX’n’Go, about his journey to building a successful grassroots business. After spending 25 years working for major insurance companies in employee benefits and two years working as a benefit advisor, Rob started RX’n’Go to address some common frustrations with pharmacy costs and delivery of medications.

Since founding the company with his partner in 2010, they have grown from one account to over 250 employer groups offering RX’n’Go to their employees and family members. Rob currently resides in Cincinnati, Ohio, and enjoys traveling with his wife when he has the time to do so.
