Although he came from a healthcare family, Ken did not want to practice medicine like his siblings so he went into business. The magnetism he felt to the genetically ingrained mission to help people eventually won over though, and Ken co-founded Picmonic with his brother & best friend Ron who was in medical school at the time. They have provided a new age learning solution to over 700,000 students in healthcare education, each which will impact hundreds of thousands of patients through their career.

Ken runs all of Picmonic’s internal operations, while also handling legal, finance, HR, etc, oversees all marketing and sales activites, and is responsible for keeping Picmonic on track with the long-term vision through quarterly objectives, setting and driving the pace as he coordinates interdepartmental initiatives. The value of implementing OKRs and an operational cadence, coupled with managing a team of millennials, led the Picmonic team to create a gamified goal management platform which was spun out into the growing company Milestonia.

Ken wakes up excited because every single day student feedback comes in thanking Picmonic for helping them remember more, pass an exam, graduate, become a practitioner, or even save someone’s life.
