This year, the Health Care Club is led by co-presidents Anne Botos and Morgan Hewett, who bring diverse experiences across MedTech, mental health, and healthcare innovation. Both are passionate about activating the HBS health care community and building connections that inspire bold ideas and lasting impact. Below, they share their paths in healthcare and what excites them for the year ahead.
ANNE BOTOS
What first drew you to health care? Tell me about your experiences before HBS.
I was first drawn to health care because of its unparalleled reach. Everyone in the world interacts with health care in some way – and most everyone (including me) has had experiences that fall short of good care. It is an industry that is always awaiting the next leap forward. I also love working in health care because it constantly feels like we’re on the cutting edge: new therapeutics, new devices, new ways to access and deliver care. Health care is inventive, exciting, and constantly pushing the boundaries of what we thought was possible. It is an industry full of innovation, bright minds, and deeply important problems that need to be solved.
I worked in strategy consulting at L.E.K. before HBS. This gave me the opportunity to view the health care value chain from many different angles, and helped me form a deeper understanding of how the stakeholders fit together. I loved that we were brought in to answer the big questions at the core of a business, and that our findings could have lasting impacts on the future of an organization. Through this work, I also discovered I am deeply energized by MedTech. I love working with devices and technologies that unlock better standards of care.
What did you do this summer, and what did you learn from it?
This summer, I worked in Strategic Initiatives in the Office of the CEO at Cala Health. Cala is a Series C MedTech with a wearable device that delivers individualized neurostimulation therapy to control hand tremor. I worked directly with the CEO and the executive team to advance the company’s 3-year strategic plan. It was high-impact work, and it was a ton of fun. I reported directly to the CEO and worked across functions on our commercial, competitive and growth strategies. I interviewed our patients and prescribing physicians to better understand their experiences. We went through a lot of whiteboard markers and sticky note pads in brainstorming sessions!
This summer gave me hands-on experience with going beyond the strategy: what does it take to execute on an idea? What are the operational resources required? Which functional teams need to get involved? This role also gave me opportunities to interact directly with patients. It was meaningful (and often emotional) to see how our device helped people live dignified lives. My experience this summer broadened my operational scope and further supported my passion for MedTech, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the opportunity.
How have these experiences shaped your health care interests as you approach graduation?
This summer solidified for me that I’m particularly energized by less invasive and noninvasive therapies, and I’m fascinated by the field of neurology. I also really enjoyed working so closely with an executive team, and learning the kinds of questions on the minds of different functional leaders. Looking to the future, I’m excited to keep pursuing careers in MedTech that align with my drive for innovative, human-centered solutions.
What are you most excited about for the Health Care Club as a Co-President this year?
One of the joys of the health care community at HBS is getting to know peers who have worked all across the value chain, and who are pursuing their own incredible ventures. It is also endlessly inspiring to meet HBS alumni and other leaders across the health care industry. I’m excited about working with Morgan to bring together students at HBS and beyond, and to connect these bright people with leaders out in the industry. We have a vision to really “activate” the health care community. We’ve already gotten started, and we can’t wait for the year to come!
MORGAN HEWETT
What first drew you to health care? Tell me about your experiences before HBS.
I was first drawn to health care because of its potential to change lives at the most fundamental level. My passion began long before HBS, when I founded Options MD, an AI-powered telehealth platform for people with treatment-resistant depression. For many patients, we were their last hope after years of failed therapies. Under my leadership, we raised $6M in venture funding, partnered with United Healthcare, and delivered groundbreaking care that reached thousands of patients, preventing hundreds of suicides along the way. Options MD was acquired in 2024.
Prior to that, I worked at Meta in the Health division, where I built health care advertising solutions that generated over $110M in annual revenue. That role opened my eyes to the power of technology to scale access to care, but it also made me realize the limitations of existing models. Options MD was my response to that gap: a way to combine cutting-edge AI with compassionate, personalized mental health care. These experiences cemented my commitment to health care as both my life’s work and the place where innovation can have the deepest human impact.
What did you do this summer, and what did you learn from it?
This summer, I worked as Chief of Staff at Share Ventures, a venture studio and fund dedicated to unlocking human potential. My role spanned strategy, operations, and venture building, giving me a front-row seat to how new health care and human performance companies are conceived and scaled. I collaborated closely with our founder, Hamet Watt, on projects that explored the future of well-being, from molecular self-awareness to the next generation of digital health interventions.
The work pushed me to think beyond the boundaries of traditional care delivery. I learned how to rigorously pressure-test ideas at the earliest stage, evaluating markets, TAM, and scientific validation, while also thinking about how teams, capital, and culture can be designed to give a company the best chance of success. Just as importantly, I learned how to zoom out from the urgent needs of patients today to imagine what the healthcare system could look like in 10, 20, or 30 years. It was an exercise in vision, strategy, and pragmatism all at once.
How have these experiences shaped your health care interests as you approach graduation?
My experiences have sharpened my interest in the intersection of longevity and human performance. At Options MD, I saw firsthand how technology can save lives in moments of crisis. At Share Ventures, I learned how science, venture creation, and entrepreneurship can be harnessed to proactively improve health and extend quality of life. Together, these experiences have shown me that the future of health care is not just about treating illness; it is about inventing entirely new ways for people to thrive.
As I approach graduation, I am excited to keep building companies and shaping innovations that make health care more predictive, personalized, and transformative. I want to spend my career at the frontier, where new science meets bold entrepreneurship.
What are you most excited about for the Health Care Club as a Co-President this year?
I am excited about the chance to make HBS the best place in the world for future health care leaders to learn from one another. The community here is extraordinary: classmates who have worked across every corner of the industry, alumni leading some of the most impactful companies in the world, and faculty shaping the next generation of health care ideas.
As Co-President, I want to create spaces where those people can connect deeply, whether through intimate dinners with industry leaders, workshops that give students hands-on exposure to new technologies, or collaborations that cut across the MBA and HMS. Anne and I are aligned in our vision to “activate” the healthcare community at HBS. My hope is that students leave not only with sharper skills and broader networks, but also with the inspiration and courage to take on the biggest challenges in health care.
