The Takeoff Podcast: Russell Glass (CEO at Ginger)

Welcome to The Takeoff Podcast! In this Podcast series, focused on telehealth, I (Lukas Steinbock) will be detailing the rise and challenges of telehealth with our insightful guests. 

Our first guest, Russell Glass (@glassruss), is the CEO of Ginger, an on-demand mental health company backed by Bessemer, Khosla Ventures, Health Velocity Capital, and Kaiser Permanente Ventures, among others. Prior to joining Ginger as CEO, Russ was the Founder & CEO at Bizo, a B2B audience marketing and data platform. Bizo was acquired by LinkedIn in 2014 (Russ then joined the LinkedIn team as VP of Products). In this episode of our telehealth Podcast series, we discuss the market imbalance that exists within the space, go-to-market strategies for healthcare companies, the surge in growth that telehealth companies have seen due to COVID-19, career advice for students, and more.

We are super excited to officially launch our first podcast episode! This is the first episode in our telehealth series, and we look forward to releasing additional episodes in the coming weeks.
