Bio for Maggie Bergeron:

Maggie Bergeron is a PT turned tech entrepreneur. 10 years ago she met a chemical engineer turned software developer at a dragon boat practice that changed the trajectory of her career. Like most healthcare professionals, Maggie was not particularly tech savvy, but deeply cared about helping her patients. Over a summer of dragon boat practices, the founding principles of Embodia were formed and in Oct 2014 Embodia was officially 'born' (ie incorporated), and thus began her journey into building, growing, and scaling a health tech company - with many ups, downs, and twists along the way.
