@Tilenius

Stephanie is an entrepreneur and intrapreneur who builds products, platforms, and businesses from the ground up.
She is currently the Founder and CEO of Vida Health, a digital therapeutics platform that helps individuals overcome chronic mental and physical health conditions. Stephanie founded Vida after watching her father deal with four chronic conditions at once. She and her brother struggled to get him the daily care he needed to manage and reverse the conditions. Vida seeks to address the problems in the healthcare system that made it so hard to get her father the care he needed. Prior to founding Vida, Stephanie held VP roles at Google, eBay, and Paypal. In these roles, Stephanie transformed online shopping. At PayPal, she built merchant services from the ground-up to become PayPal’s fastest growing business. She then went on to lead eBay’s turnaround and took the marketplace from negative to positive double-digit growth rates. At Google, she built the teams that launched Google Wallet, Google Shopping, and Google Express.

Now she’s working to transform healthcare. Vida combines digital therapies with 1:1 health coaching and evidence-based programs to help individuals change their behavior and overcome common physical and mental chronic diseases.
