Picture
Friso has been a Board Member of Health Equity Initiative since January 2016, because he believes in a multi-stakeholder approach to reducing health disparities and promoting health equity. He was involved with the 2018 Summit Organizing Committee, Membership and Public Policy Committees. 
 
Professionally, Friso consults Medicaid managed care organizations, health plans and systems on health communication and technology applications for enterprise software solutions to enhance the consumer experience and engage people in their health journey. Friso is Vice President, Strategic Account Growth at Covititi, a leading solutions and data analytics company in the healthcare field. He previously held other senior positions in the healthcare industry, including Vice President of Business Development for CipherHealth, a patient engagement and care coordination software company. He empowers people to navigate the health system and understand their options. 
 
Friso also lead a group of volunteers and staff at Stamford Health for engaging community members as patients and family members in an advisory committee. He was asked to co-Chair the Connecticut Hospital Association’s Patient Family Advisory Committee (PFAC) as well. Friso has been a Board Director of a local Boys and Girls Club supporting 650 children with after-school programs, a snack and second home. Friso also sees the value in nutritious foods for underserved communities and became an advisor to F.E.A.S.T., a non-profit teaching women with diabetes to shop for, prepare and cook healthy meals to their families.
 
Friso holds a European Business degree, classes for a Masters in Cultural Anthropology from Leiden University, and a Master in Public Health from Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. Friso enjoys outdoor activities including biking and sailing with his wife, Meg, and two boys.
