Editor in Chief, Medika Life
Meet Medika Life’s Editor-in-Chief, working closely with founding editors Robert Turner and Jeff Livingston, MD.
Not your usual health industry executive, Gil Bashe has built a distinctive career spanning more than four decades across health policy, biopharma, life sciences, digital health, eco-health, environmental innovation, and venture capital. These experiences have shaped his enduring commitment to give back and advance more humane, effective care.
A champion for innovation that sustains lives and improves how care is delivered, Gil’s perspective was forged in both battlefield and boardroom. He began in health as a combat medic in an elite military unit, later serving as a clergyman tending to the ill; a health products industry lobbyist in environmental affairs; CEO of one of the world’s largest integrated health marketing companies; a principal in a private equity backed venture; a Medika Life author and Health Tech World correspondent; and today as Chair, Global Health and Purpose at FINN Partners, a community dedicated to making a meaningful difference.
Gil is also the author of the bestselling book on Amaon, "Healing the Sick Care System: Why People Matter," a call to restore human connection, trust, and partnership at the heart of medicine. The book reflects his lifelong advocacy for patient-centered care and the belief that health systems work best when they honor the dignity, voice and lived experience of people.
