#236 Knowing when to let things go with Jacob Haddad Accurx

The Business of Healthcare Podcast with Tara Humphrey

I’m incredibly excited to be joined this week by Accurx CEO and Co-Founder Jacob Haddad! For those of you who aren’t familiar with Accurx (where have you been?!) they are a health tech company who specialise in delivery of communications software, primarily (to date) across the general practice landscape. Put simply; if you’ve had a text from your own GP, it’s likely to have been powered by the Accurx solution.

As Jacob is co-founder of one of the healthcare industry’s fastest growing tech company, it will come as no surprise to our regular listeners that I was keen to quiz him on all things leadership, as well as find out more about the Accurx journey more broadly (and a key shift in their product focus and delivery along the way).

So, listen now to find out more about:

• Jacob’s leadership style

• His role, responsibilities, and ambitions now (versus when he first started out)

• What a typical week in the life of a health tech CEO looks like and what Jacob enjoys doing most

• Recognising opportunities and how to make the most of the lucky breaks

• Reflecting on mistakes and misjudgements and how they can still positively shape progress

• Accurx company culture, structure, and evolution

• Why maintaining a strong user focus has been fundamental in the Accurx success story

….and why post-it notes matter when it comes to marketing!

If you’d like to connect with Jacob, and / or find out more, he is contactable via Twitter or LinkedIn
