Dan is the CEO of a multi-billion dollar healthcare improvement company, but what sticks out about him is that he's one of the best examples you can find anywhere of a person who is able to love a fellow human being. Dan shares how he was able to come to know the timeless principles that guide his life, and how his understanding of the immeasurable value of every person on the planet influences his daily interactions.
Dan Burton serves as CEO of Health Catalyst, a healthcare data warehousing and analytics company. He became involved with Health Catalyst when it was a three-person startup. Mr. Burton is also the co-founder of HB Ventures, the first outside equity holder in Health Catalyst. Prior to Health Catalyst and HB Ventures, Mr. Burton led the Corporate Strategy Group at Micron Technology (NASDAQ: MU). He also spent eight years with Hewlett-Packard (NYSE: HPQ) in strategy and marketing management roles.
