Sona Shah
CEO & Co-founder
Seattle, WA

I'm the CEO and Co-founder of Neopenda, where we're on a mission to make healthcare more accessible in emerging markets. At Neopenda, we create innovative medical technologies, like our neoGuard system, that help healthcare providers deliver better care, especially in places where resources are limited. Our goal is simple: make life-saving tech available where it’s needed most.

My journey into this space started in Kenya, where I taught primary school for a semester and saw firsthand the struggles of healthcare systems in low-resource settings. That experience, combined with my background in biomedical engineering, led me to co-found Neopenda in 2015. We’re passionate about bringing scalable, impactful solutions to countries like Kenya, Uganda, and Ghana, and ultimately, to the next billion people who could benefit from better healthcare.

We’re just getting started, and I'm excited about the future—bringing tech-driven healthcare to places where it can make the biggest difference. If you’re passionate about global health, innovation, or just want to learn more about what we’re up to, feel free to reach out. I’d love to connect!
