Teo Zanella
Fractional & Interim CPO / CTO / Chief AI Officer · 20+ years across tech and digital health
I help healthcare and mission-driven teams set product direction, bring AI into the product and how it is built, and scale sustainably.
Hands-on across product, design, engineering, and AI, with LLMs deployed in regulated clinical and operational settings.
More than anything, I like to work on interesting, impactful problems with good people.
