Innovation in Healthcare w/ Optum

Optum is probably the largest software company that you’ve never heard of. It does over $100 billion a year in revenue, but is part of United Healthcare Group. United is one of the six largest companies in the United States and the largest health insurance company in the US.

On this week’s episode of Agile Giants, I’m joined by Paul Nielsen from Optum. Paul has had a storied career as an entrepreneur and now has brought that mindset to Optum and United Healthcare. He’s really a change agent internally and helping the company rediscover their entrepreneurial vision.

We’ve worked together on a number of projects (including the Optum Startup Studio we chat about on the episode). While I knew a lot about Paul and his role, it was a fun conversation about enabling change and driving innovation.
