In this week’s #MeetTheTeam, we would like to give a huge welcome to Elena Friedberg, our new commercial associate at Akara 👏 Elena joins our team with her deep product management skill set and her passion for the startup space to help support our commercial plans and deployments throughout our #US sites. Furthermore, Elena oversees our approach to reaching out to new clients and mentors, allowing us to better understand our market fit and create key connections that will benefit our future 🤖 🤝🏥 💡 While she has joined Akara on the commercial side, Elena still works with the Techstars Los Angeles Accelerator as an operations associate, working with a diverse team of investors and founders to help facilitate social networking and events throughout the accelerator. On top of that, her love for the startup space is plain to see, given her experience working for various venture capitals such as How Women Invest, milemark•capital, and Muse Capital, along with working full-time at a venture-backed startup, SelectFew ⚡⚡⚡ A fun fact about Elena is that she is a certified yoga instructor. Outside of work, she enjoys the outdoors as an avid hiker and is a massive history buff 🚶♀️📑 Akara are very excited about this new partnership with Elena and we hope her experience in the healthcare industry propels us to greater heights and enhanced hospital workflows 🎉 #Startups #healthtech #healthcare #StartupLife #Techstars

For this week’s #InternHighlights, we’re heading to the R&D hardware department and looking at what Kamaya Gogna is up to 💡 Kamaya sparked our interest when she initially reached out to us outlining her passion for robotics and her willingness to learn in a fast-paced environment such as Akara. Right now, she works as an engineering intern and oversees the implementation of systems to improve human-robot interaction for our autonomous disinfection robots 🤖 A fun fact, and might be a shock to hear, is that Kamaya is still in secondary school! It’s inspiring to see students getting more involved with #STEM and #robotics at such a young age and it is an honour that we are in a position to enable that curiosity and innovation for students such as Kamaya here at Akara 💫 While she’s not working on the robot, Kamaya enjoys reading and playing badminton. A fun fact about her is that she has read all of the Sherlock Holmes series (it probably explains why her curiosity is over the roof!) 🏸 📚 Kamaya has provided a lot of new insights for Akara and we hope that her time here at Akara helps her reach greater heights in her future engineering career 🧠 ✨ #StartupLife #MeetTheTeam #robotics #STEM #MedTect
