Alex Jovanovich BlueChew

Alex Jovanovich BlueChew went on to work in urgent care and concierge medicine, where in-clinic experience opened his eyes to the gaping inefficiencies of the medical system. Patients in need of basic treatments or medication refills waited hours for overworked doctors to attend to them. Insurance—which neither patients nor doctors liked—exacerbated the already-sluggish system, limiting access to care and keeping costs high. It was in light of these observations that he pursued an interest in telemedicine, which he recognized could give patients instant access to healthcare and customized treatments at a much lower price.

In 2015 Dr. Jovanovich and Mr. Sullivan co-founded Dermacare, a company that provided customized, low-cost telehealth diagnoses and treatments for a variety of skincare conditions. Encouraged by positive patient feedback and high demand for Dermacare’s services, Dr. Jovanovich became convinced that telemedicine was the future of healthcare. Soon after, with Sildenafil and Tadalafil coming off patent, he decided to bring what he’d learned to the men’s health space. In 2017, he and Mr. Sullivan co-founded BlueChew, a company whose mission is to help men have better sex and healthier lives. A breakout success, BlueChew has served more than 2 million men to date.

A lifelong advocate of creative solutions to unique problems, he has enjoyed the daily challenges of taking BlueChew from a two-man operation to a company with over 250 employees and offices across the nation. His dedication to his customers and employees drives his ambition to develop new products, improve processes and motivate those around him. He has learned that to achieve great success, you must have a great team, tremendous focus and the ability to fail repeatedly without loss of enthusiasm.
