I’ve always been about seats at the table and the importance of representation where brainstorming sessions and decisions happen. And it’s not only about physical diversity for decisions, but it’s also about inclusion with neurodiversity and realizing our strength in democratizing knowledge. It’s rare to be part of a company culture where there’s so much inherent trust with each other to do the right thing and make the best decisions that help everyone.

Working for a mission oriented company like Primary makes going to work very rewarding, day in and day out. Being able to make a difference in the health equity and health tech space is incredibly motivating. Everyone at Primary is committed to collaboration! In addition, Primary’s benefits are very focused on self and professional development, and offers its employees opportunities to learn and explore new areas in the tech space.
