In this podcast episode, we talk to Ellen Su, the Chief Product Officer at Wellinks, a digital health company improving care for patients with chronic respiratory conditions. Ellen thrives at the intersection of software, services, and user experience, and focuses on translating high level business strategy into user-first product design and development. She previously founded and managed the acquisition of a connected medical device startup where she raised funding, directed design, and led product development. She received her undergraduate degree from Yale University, and is a co-founder and board member of Accelerate Yale.
We delve into the inspiring journey of how Ellen turned a student project into a company and her experience as an art major who later became interested in product design and entrepreneurship. We explore the unique entrepreneurial culture at Yale, where Ellen served as a mentor in residence at TSAI, and learn invaluable insights into the challenges and triumphs of the startup landscape and how Yale is embracing a culture of investing in the next generation of innovators.
