Headway Inclusion & Diversity

Headway brings together employees with experience across different industries, including finance, insurance and technology, who share an interest in improving mental healthcare. These varied professional backgrounds can contribute different perspectives and technical expertise to solving complex challenges for patients and providers.

“I studied computer science in college and my first full-time job was at a big bank — which I quickly realized was not for me. I wanted something faster-paced where I would have more opportunities to learn, grow and try new things. So, I moved on to a life insurance startup called Haven Life, which gave me everything I wanted at the time.

However, several years later, during the height of the pandemic, I felt a strong need to align my work with something I was more passionate about, and mental healthcare startup Headway fit the bill perfectly. For much of my two-plus years here, I’ve worked on search and ML-based matchmaking in the patient experience, which, as anyone who has tried to find a therapist knows, is an interesting and complex problem to solve. More recently, I moved to the provider side of things with the goal of leveraging search and matchmaking to help providers and patients find the perfect long-term fit and increase referrals to providers.”
