About CaringHand
Survivorship begins at diagnosis and continues through treatment, transition, and long-term survivorship. CaringHand brings clinical guidance and a Living Action Plan to the questions that continue across that full journey.
Leadership
Clinical, commercial, and product leadership with lived experience of the cancer journey.
CEO & Co-founder
MBA, BS
At just five years old, Luke was diagnosed with a rare disease that doctors believed would severely limit his life. Through persistence and faith, he experienced a remarkable recovery, one that forever changed his family's perspective on healthcare. He has since built zero-to-one enterprise products at Cisco, Facebook, and Saama Technologies, where he launched the cloud platform Pfizer used to accelerate the COVID-19 vaccine trials.
Chief Medical Officer & Co-founder
MD, MPH
Charlie's journey in healthcare became deeply personal when his wife survived breast cancer 25 years ago thanks to great treatments. But when stage 4 pancreatic cancer struck, the latest therapies didn't help and they lost her in just 7 months. A healthcare innovation leader from Genentech/Roche and an early advisor-customer of Flatiron Health, Charlie's mission is to help the 20+ million cancer survivors in the U.S. truly thrive.

Medical Director
MD, MS
Medical Director of Cancer Commons and an internist with 30+ years working with Fortune 500 biotech, health insurance, and provider organizations. She founded the Compassionate Access nonprofit, the receiving entity for the XCELSIOR Registry that informs CaringHand's Living Action Plans.
Head of Clinical Operations

Mary leads clinical operations at CaringHand and serves as Privacy Officer, owning Living Action Plan quality assurance, clinical intake, and compliance.
