About Rohit

Rohit Nambisan is an entrepreneur who builds solutions at the messy intersection of healthcare, data, and drug development. Over his career he's led organizations across healthcare data, AI, pharma, medical devices, personalized medicine, and health IT — turning complex clinical problems into products people actually use.

Most recently he was CEO and founder of Lokavant, a clinical-trial intelligence company that pioneered AI-powered study forecasting to cut through the uncertainty that slows down getting new therapies to patients; the company was acquired in 2025.

A neuroscientist by training, Rohit holds an M.S. in Management and Engineering from MIT, an M.A. in Neuroscience from Boston University, and a B.A. in Cognitive Neuroscience from UC Berkeley. Offstage from the boardroom, he fronts Rho & The Nomads, a reggae band based in NYC.
