Mr. Giridharadas founded LeanTaaS to help health systems unlock capacity, improve patient access and reduce costs through AI-powered capacity optimization. He has built a company whose products are now used by more than 190 health systems and deployed across over 1,200 hospitals and centers nationwide, improving operational performance in operating rooms, surgical clinics, infusion centers and inpatient care. His approach to healthcare transformation is grounded in nearly two decades of experience at McKinsey & Company, where he served as a senior partner leading the lean manufacturing and lean service operations practices in North America and the Asia-Pacific region, working with many of the largest and most innovative U.S. health systems along the way. That deep operational and analytical expertise, combined with a conviction that mathematical rigor and lean principles can fundamentally improve how healthcare is delivered, forms the intellectual foundation of LeanTaaS and its suite of AI-driven solutions. Mr. Giridharadas co-authored the book Better Healthcare Through Math, reflecting his belief that the path to a more efficient and accessible healthcare system runs through data, operations science and technology thoughtfully applied to the realities of clinical workflows. His leadership has positioned LeanTaaS as one of the most widely adopted capacity management platforms in American healthcare, serving health systems that collectively represent a significant share of inpatient and outpatient care delivery across the country.
