Robin Farmanfarmaian

Robin Farmanfarmaian is an entrepreneur and speaker who has worked in eleven tech startups, mostly in biotech and medicine. Robin believes that technology can empower patients and make a positive impact in the health and medical fields. As a teenager, she was misdiagnosed with an autoimmune disease that led to forty-three hospitalizations and six major surgeries - many of them ultimately unnecessary. Robin’s unique personal history inspired her to write The Patient as CEO as an education tool and resource for healthcare professionals, the tech industry and most importantly - patients.
