 Hi, I'm Ole Eichhorn. I live in Westlake Village, California, about 45 miles north-west of Los Angeles, with my wife and a small menagerie of pets. We have four daughters, one [adorable] granddaughter, and one [perfect] grandson. I've spent most of my life coding and herding coders. In between I race sailboats and ride bikes, and ... blog. You can e-mail me here.
I'm presently a fractional CTO / advisor for a number of startups, mostly in healthcare, including Optra Scan, a digital pathology leader, Honeydew, a consumer skincare company, and Zimple Money, a SaaS provider of lending tools. Others included CureMetrix, Picture Health, LiveMed, and Fawkes Biosystems. This followed a stint as CTO of Hospitals and Health Systems for Teladoc Health, the leading provider of telehealth solutions, after its acquisition of InTouch Health, which I'd joined as CTO in 2016. Improving healthcare for the world!
Previously to that I founded eyesFinder, a startup making Visual Search a reality, after I'd spent twelve years as CTO of Aperio (which was acquired by Leica), the leader in Digital Pathology. Before that I was with PayPal (EVP/Engineering), Intuit (GM of web finance), and Digital Insight (VP/Engineering). Please find me on LinkedIn to learn more.
I am philosophical about software and I am writing thinking about writing a book.
My business teachers are Clayton Christianson (The Innovator's Dilemma, The Innovator's Solution) and Geoffrey Moore (Crossing the Chasm, Living on the Fault Line).
My philosophy gurus are Douglas Hofstadter (Godel, Escher, Bach), Richard Dawkins (The Selfish Gene, The Blind Watchmaker) and Daniel Dennett (Darwin's Dangerous Idea, Consciousness Explained).
