Leslie Pascaud is a strategic insights and marketing leader with over 35 years of experience driving growth across B2B, B2C, and nonprofit organizations in health tech and global health. She specializes in translating complex innovation into clear, differentiated narratives that resonate with both commercial and mission-driven audiences. As Chief Marketing Officer of a digital clinical trials company, she led cross-functional teams to develop thought leadership and go-to-market strategies that contributed to three consecutive years on the Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing companies.
She is a Strategic Advisor at Kinetic Strategic Consulting Group and a three-term board advisor to Tiko, a 2025 recipient of the Audacious Project grant for its “big bold solution” via a pioneering digital platform that provides access to health services for young African women. Leslie’s current work focuses on the evolving role of artificial intelligence in healthcare, particularly how AI systems influence clinical judgment, patient trust, and the alignment of responsibility in care delivery.
Performing well in controlled settings is only part of the picture, the harder question is whether AI is being integrated into clinical workflows in ways that keep responsibility, authority, and accountability properly aligned.
Senior care innovations offer a glimpse of what is to come while providing useful lessons for the broader healthcare sector. Successful AI-enabled technologies will improve outcomes, ease burdens, and increase autonomy.
Healthcare payments are no longer about transactions. It’s about controlling the revenue cycle. And increasingly, that control is not sitting with ISOs.
