Biography
Vishal Agrawal spent a full decade as a Yale student, first earning his B.S. degree as an undergraduate resident of Ezra Stiles, then his M.S. in Molecular Biophysics on Science Hill, and finally his M.D. degree at the School of Medicine. Since his final Yale Commencement ceremony 25 years ago he has focused his career on healthcare.
Following his years as a researcher and physician, Agrawal broadened his perspectives through work at McKinsey, the Carlyle Group, and as Chief Strategy and Corporate Development Officer at Humana. He is now Chief Executive Officer at Longitude Health, which gives him an opportunity to shape health care-delivery system innovation at scale throughout the United States.
Agrawal has become passionate about connecting alumni in industry back with Yale. He is co-founder of Friends of Yale from Industry (FYI), a group that strives to create bridges between Yale and its alumni in the public, private and social sectors. He hopes to find avenues through which Yale's faculty, students and alumni outside academia can do more in partnership on collective priorities than would otherwise be possible.
