Benny Axt
Entrepreneur-in-Residence, HealthTech
Benny is OSE’s first Entrepreneur-In-Residence to join from the US, bringing more than 15 years of experience in healthcare strategy, operations, and international expansion. He has worked in healthcare systems on six continents, supporting providers, payers, regulators, and patients.
As an EIR, he’s on a mission to identify and ultimately found a new high-impact venture that translates Oxford’s cutting-edge science into global healthcare impact. Benny also works with OSE’s HealthTech team to accelerate Oxford ventures into the US – the world’s largest healthcare market.
Previously, Benny served as Vice President of Strategy at Dialogue Health Technologies Inc., where he supported US market entry, and helped grow the company from venture-backed startup to IPO and acquisition by Sun Life. He also held leadership roles at DaVita, a Fortune 500 healthcare provider, and has advised multiple early-stage digital health startups as a consultant and board advisor.
Benny holds a Master of Health Care Delivery Science from Dartmouth College, an MBA from Thunderbird School of Global Management, and a BA from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
