Over two decades, Ritesh has been at the forefront of digital evolution, driving change and pioneering new approaches in an ever-shifting technological landscape.

Ritesh's journey began in the early days of the internet boom, where he evangelized the potential of the World Wide Web to Fortune 500 companies—a digital prophet preaching to corporate congregations who had yet to glimpse the promised land.

His tenure as Global Head of Digital & Innovation at inVentiv Health saw him spearhead digital strategies in life sciences, creating teams and frameworks for innovation in clinical and commercial operations that would become the industry's new playbook.

At Ogilvy, as Chief Digital Officer for both Ogilvy Health and Ogilvy Consulting, Ritesh pushed the boundaries of healthcare marketing and patient engagement with the relentless pursuit of excellence that defines true innovators. He enabled the creation of an innovative EHR and Point of Care practice, and an innovation lab focused on emerging technologies. These initiatives represented paradigm shifts in how healthcare companies approached digital solutions and customer experience—not mere incremental improvements, but revolutionary leaps forward.

As Managing Partner for Global Digital Health at FINN Partners, Ritesh continued to inhabit the bleeding edge of digital innovation. His work in omnichannel marketing strategies and digital customer experience helped define the future of healthcare engagement in the digital age.

Now, as Chief Growth Officer at Doceree, Ritesh is working on the future of healthcare marketing itself— where Doceree is creating a modern, digital HCP engagement operating system that transforms how marketers connect with healthcare professionals. It's not simply evolution; it's revolution.

Prior to healthcare, his leadership in implementing a global CRM system at Cushman & Wakefield demonstrated his ability to leverage digital tools to enhance customer relationships and operational efficiency for commercial brokers—proof that his digital acumen transcends industry boundaries.

Ritesh understands that true digital transformation isn't merely about implementing new tools—it's about changing mindsets and cultures. This philosophy permeates his approach to emerging technologies, which he sees as powerful instruments for revolutionizing patient care and healthcare delivery.

Beyond the corporate sphere, Ritesh's influence extends into the fabric of community service. As one of the founders of radiofreemontclair.org, he champions independent media and community voices in his local community. His position on the board of AAPI NJ reflects his commitment to advancing Asian American and Pacific Islander communities. He chairs the board of the Asthma & Allergy Foundation of America, bringing his expertise to health advocacy where it matters most—in the lives of patients and families.

His advisory roles with companies like The Vive Collective, Trialbee, and Drumroll AI reflect his commitment to guiding the next wave of digital innovators toward meaningful impact.

From the early days of the internet to the current era of AI and machine learning, Ritesh Patel's career reads like a roadmap of digital evolution in healthcare and beyond. His journey demonstrates not just an understanding of how digital technologies can be harnessed to improve businesses, but a mastery of how they can transform entire industries—and ultimately, human lives.

The facts tell the story. The results speak for themselves.
