Christopher McCann started Current Health in 2015 as a medical student, ultimately leaving at the end of his third year with the belief that technology could have a more profound impact on how care is delivered at scale. Since then, Chris has led the company through many major milestones, including the platform’s FDA clearance in 2019, 3,000% revenue growth in 2020, and growing the team to 150 employees across the U.S. and U.K. in 2021.
Under his leadership, the company raised over $70M in capital before being acquired by Best Buy Health in October 2021. Today, Chris sits on the Best Buy Health leadership team helping to develop its virtual care strategy while also leading operations for the Current Health business.
