David Williams

David Williams’ interest in computers and cyber security began at age 16, when as a summer intern at a Veterans Administration hospital he inadvertently crashed the DEC PDP 11/34 minicomputer by programming an infinite loop in MUMPS. After being confronted by an angry crew of IT staff who ran upstairs from the basement to investigate, he largely stuck to the business side of the equation. 

He earned an undergraduate degree in economics from Wesleyan and an MBA from Harvard, then worked in North America, Europe, and Asia with The Boston Consulting Group and MedPharma Partners. He has decades of experience in healthcare technology, policy, and entrepreneurship and has chaired federal government panels focused on implementing health information technology. David is passionate about harnessing software to reduce drudgery and protect good people from those who would harm them.
