About Me

Peter Winarsky is a multi-disciplinary product and venture leader with a distinguished record of scaling complex solutions from initial concept to millions of users across the healthcare, consumer tech, and sustainability sectors. As the Vice President of Product Management at Vida Health, he was instrumental in growing the platform from its first enterprise customer to over **4.5 million covered lives**, driving more than **100X revenue growth** and a **3X improvement in margins**. A pioneer in applied AI, he created **"V," the first LLM-powered virtual care assistant**, and has consistently delivered industry-shaping products that maintain an NPS of 84+ and 4.7+ app store ratings. Beyond core product management, Peter brings **"full-spectrum" operational expertise**, having founded and led diverse organizations of over 50 individuals across product operations, customer support, and multi-million dollar device fulfillment supply chains. His career is defined by a **"run toward the fire" mentality** and a deep technical intuition honed through leadership roles at **Jawbone**, where he led the #1-ranked fitness app experience, and **Navdy**, where he revolutionized safe navigation through augmented reality. An **MIT MBA** with a background in venture incubation at **SRI International**, Peter excels at bridging the gap between high-level strategy and hands-on execution, bringing order to the inherent chaos of 0-to-1 innovation.
