  1. Jim Dougherty is a serial entrepreneur with nearly 30 years of expertise in leveraging automation to improve manual administrative processes in the financial services and healthcare industries. At Madaket Health, Jim leads the company toward its goal of creating streamlined solutions for the increasingly complicated world of healthcare information technology and data management. As the founder of Madaket, Jim is a passionate and thoughtful leader; he knows and plays to his strengths and is both motivating and empowering to those around him. Jim emphasizes team in a genuine way that comes from a deep and intrinsic belief that the company is powered by the strength of the team, not the merits of its leaders. More than building a company, Jim is passionate about building people. At a recent all-hands meeting, Jim expressed his strong desire that all Madaket employees be better people and members of their communities, wherever their journeys take them. It wasn’t about their contributions at Madaket; to Jim, it’s about their contributions to humanity. He wants team members to develop skills that are foundational and enable their success whenever they leave Madaket. In addition to his role as CEO, Jim has long held academic roles, and as a professor of entrepreneurship, he teaches these values to his students as well. He has also contributed articles to Harvard Business Review on topics of entrepreneurship, building teams and company culture.
