Seasoned Healthtech Executive Pia Shivdasani Joins Karoo Health as COO

Shivdasani's extensive experience includes leadership roles at Boulder Care, Echo Health Ventures, and Cambia Health Solutions

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M., July 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Karoo Health, a technology company enabling cardiac value-based care, today announced that it has named Pia Shivdasani as Chief Operating Officer. Shivdasani brings operational leadership and execution strategy to Karoo, having most recently served as Vice President at Boulder Care, leading clinical operations. Earlier in her career, she served at the strategic investment firm Echo Health Ventures, as well as on the payer side at Cambia Health Solutions.

Karoo Health supports the transformation to value-based cardiac care through the combination of dedicated wraparound care teams, high-performing network steerage, and AI-powered technology that enables real-time patient communication, seamless data sharing, and actionable insights for both clinical and payer partners.

"Pia's unique background as an operator at a high-growth startup, an investor at a well-known venture capital firm, and a payer executive brings a distinctly unique and highly valuable perspective to our leadership team," said Karoo Health CEO and Cofounder Ian Koons. "We are fortunate to have her on board as we continue to scale nationally."

"Patients navigating cardiac care need consistent, coordinated support beyond the clinical visit," said Shivdasani. "I'm energized by building solutions that meet these gaps, and I believe the only way to improve outcomes and lower cost of care at scale in the cardiac vertical is through the combination of deeply integrated provider partnerships, tailored patient interactions, and technology that empowers care teams to deliver more connected, effective care."

Earlier this year, Karoo Health announced a partnership agreement with Medicare Advantage insurer Zing Health to launch a value-based cardiac care program across Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Ohio, and Tennessee. The combination of Karoo's 500-plus cardiology provider partners, AI technology, and innovative model of care, and Zing's best-in-class member experience, helps solve a critical unmet need for Americans with cardiovascular disease.

Through the end of this year and early into 2026, Karoo will be continuing its rapid growth by partnering with new payers in at least five new states.
