Mara Lederman, PhD

Co-Founder and COO

Signal 1

Toronto, Canada

Dr. Lederman oversees company strategy, sales, marketing, customer delivery and business operations at Signal 1, a health AI company, drawing on more than 20 years as a faculty member at the Rotman School of Management at the University of Toronto where she was an award-winning researcher in economics. She was an early pioneer in executive-level education in data-driven decision-making, developing some of the first courses that taught leaders to view data and analytics as a strategic asset rather than an IT function. As site lead for the Creative Destruction Lab in Toronto, she more than tripled the program’s scale and launched its first healthcare-focused programming. At Signal 1, Dr. Lederman helps healthcare leaders address the economic and organizational challenges of AI adoption, advancing a conviction that successful AI in healthcare is not just about model performance but about trust, governance, sustainability and real value realization. She continues to serve as an adjunct professor at the Rotman School of Management.
