Shift+6: Greg@Propeller Health
I've known Greg Tracy since before founding Redox, connecting over civic hacking projects in Madison, Wisconsin. As the co-founder and CTO, Greg helped Propeller Health from its inception to serving patients across the globe and through its recent acquisition by ResMed (for $225M), where he now serves as the chief architect. Greg shares the Propeller Health story, their early choice to go through FDA clearance, and how they built the business into a global brand, as well as the constant struggle to prioritize projects, no matter how large the organization. He’s always been a mentor to the up and coming developer-leaders in Madison; this conversation exemplifies this. Thanks for the great conversation Greg! 1:12 Overview of Propeller Health’s product offering 3:09 Greg’s background and starting Propeller 8:29 Balancing speed and quality in an FDA certified domain 11:57 Managing a diverse set of users and stakeholders 14:29 “Suck” meetings for engineering 16:59 Getting acquired by a public company 23:24 Prioritizing endless wants 27:19 How Slack fails product teams 30:00 The best innovation in healthcare comes from those without experience Find Greg on Twitter (@GregTracy).
