COLBY TAKEDA

Colby Takeda is the Co-Founder & CEO of Pear Suite. He earned his MBA in Business Administration from The Shidler College of Business in 2015 and is devoted to improving population health, strengthening cross-sector relationships, and helping others achieve their goals. He is always exploring new avenues to grow, both personally and professionally, and loves connecting with people of different cultures and backgrounds. Pear Suite is a platform that helps organizations improve their well-being and reduce healthcare costs by understanding the whole person, not just the patient. Unlike other assessment tools, Pear Suite enables anyone to assess and address an individual’s social drivers of health using smart scripts, logic modeling, and actionable dashboards.
