Chief of Staff

At Amae Health, we are dedicated to helping the 15.4 million Americans living with severe mental illness (SMI) lead stable, meaningful lives, while ending the cycle of repeat hospitalizations. In collaboration with some of the nation’s top academic medical centers, including NewYork-Presbyterian and Massachusetts General, we’ve pioneered an innovative outpatient care model that combines compassionate, in-person psychiatric care with comprehensive wraparound support. Our integrated care teams — including psychiatrists, therapists, primary care physicians, health coaches, and peer support specialists — work together to treat the whole person via a unique model, addressing physical, mental, and social needs in unison. By caring for every aspect of our patients’ well-being, we help them not just survive, but truly thrive.

Amae Health is a Series A, venture-backed Public Benefit Corporation on a mission to build the nation’s leading center of excellence for individuals living with SMI. We’re backed by top-tier healthcare and technology investors behind transformative companies like Cityblock, Oscar, Palantir, Square, Instacart, and Lyft. Our strategic partners also include leading health systems such as Cedars-Sinai Health Ventures and CommonSpirit Ventures, reinforcing our commitment to reshaping mental health care at scale.
