Julia Chou

COO

Abridge

San Francisco, CA

Ms. Chou has been the operational engine behind Abridge since joining as the company’s first business hire in 2019, building the generative AI platform company’s business functions from the ground up and scaling headcount by five in 2024 alone. Ms. Chou led deals with some of the largest health systems in the nation in 2024, quadrupled company headcount, opened offices in San Francisco and New York City, and helped secure a $250 million Series D funding round. She has also played a central role in shaping Abridge’s culture, building an environment centered on deep collaboration and a shared commitment to AI’s potential in healthcare. Beyond growth metrics, Ms. Chou has prioritized employee wellbeing by expanding the company’s parental benefits policy to include comprehensive family planning and fertility coverage, building on an existing policy that already provided four months of parental leave for either parent. She was recognized as one of the “Top 50 Women Leaders in Healthcare Technology” by The Healthcare Technology Report in 2024.
