David Esposito has built and scaled multiple healthcare companies that resulted in successful exits to strategic buyers. We’re excited to have his expertise on our already impressive advisory board. Here’s some insight from David on why he chose to support Alerje:

“Javier is doing a great job leading the team at Alerje to make a significant, positive difference in the lives of individuals and families impacted by food allergies. The technology being developed by Alerje will enable better communication among caregivers, improved health literacy, and the platform to build a virtual community to support those impacted by food allergies. I am grateful to support the Alerje team in sharing my experience in allergy diagnostics and building early-stage, innovative health care companies.”
