Patrick Colletti

Patrick Colletti is a board director, executive advisor, and author who specializes in re-orienting struggling organizations and building enduring companies. As President of Net Health for over two decades, he and his partners transformed a near-bankrupt startup into a billion-dollar enterprise software and AI leader serving 25,000+ facilities and millions of patients annually including 98% of America's largest healthcare systems.

His book, Refounder: How Transformational Leaders Take What's Broken and Make it Better (Per Capita, 2021), chronicles this journey and introduces a framework for revitalizing organizations at any stage. The work has been endorsed by Harvard Business School and Carnegie Mellon University faculty and adopted by leaders across industries facing inflection points.

Colletti teaches Strategy, Innovation, and Commercialization at Carnegie Mellon University's Tepper School of Business, where he challenges MBA students to think critically about growth, culture, and leadership during times of disruption. He has served on a wide range of boards for angel, venture, family owned, not-for-profit, and private equity-backed companies, bringing operational expertise to early and growth-stage ventures.

An active early-stage investor and frequent keynote speaker, Colletti focuses on what he calls "refounding"—the discipline of reimagining existing organizations to meet contemporary challenges. His presentations blend hard-won operational lessons with frameworks applicable to businesses and communities seeking transformation.
