When a high-achieving executive flatlines and still asks for her phone, it’s a wake-up call to how we define strength. Rashmi exposes the hidden cost of over functioning in a world that demands more than any one person can give, and offers a new blueprint for women to rebuild, reinforce, and rise whole. With more than 20 years of experience at Apple, Samsung, Qualcomm, and Philips Healthcare, Rashmi has led global teams of 350+, generated over $500M in business impact, and holds 40+ patents for innovations in AI-powered health technology. At Philips, she spearheaded digital health solutions that advanced patient monitoring and access to care.
Today, she is Managing Partner of rcubed | ventures, investing in women- and minority-led startups, and Founder and Board Chair of HLWF℠ Alliance, a nonprofit breaking silos in healthcare to tackle inequities. She also serves on the board of the University of Washington’s Engineering Innovation in Health (EIH) program, guiding research at the intersection of health access and innovation.
A Sammamish resident, and mother of two boys, Rashmi brings deep personal insight to her work. In 2020, she nearly lost her life during childbirth. That experience fuels her mission to redesign what strength, leadership, and worthiness mean for women today.
