Denise Kvapil has built her career in environments where decisions are immediate, outcomes are measurable, and accountability is non‑negotiable. From emergency departments to senior executive roles, she has led with a singular conviction: results matter more than rhetoric. "I define success by patient outcomes," she says. "If patients do better and teams grow stronger, then the leadership is working." That philosophy has guided her ascent through clinical practice, hospital operations, and executive leadership across complex healthcare systems.
The 29-year-old told Business Insider that he waited over an hour on the phone to book an appointment with an orthopedist, and then two weeks for insurance to approve his MRI scheduling. Frustrated with the pace of the healthcare system, Seelamsetty cofounded the AI agents startup Tivara with Aumesh Misra. The company promises to answer patient phone calls, handle scheduling and refills - and cut down the hours of grunt work that comes with a medical visit.
