Key Executives is pleased to announce The Top 25 HealthTech Executives of New York for 2025. This year’s awardees reflect how the healthtech industry in New York is moving beyond broad promises of digital transformation and delivering targeted solutions to some of healthcare’s most entrenched gaps.

Others are developing the infrastructure and data-driven tools that help primary care practices, health systems, and payers manage patient care more effectively, whether through value-based programs, real-world data, or AI-enabled clinical decision support.

From telemedicine to data science to digital therapeutics, these executives are shaping what healthtech actually looks like in practice: care that is more accessible, coordinated, and responsive to patient and provider needs. Their work reflects not just the scale of New York’s healthtech sector, but its growing influence on healthcare nationwide.

Among this year’s awardees, Brennan Moore, Chief Technology Officer of Firsthand, is recognized for his work developing technology that helps individuals with serious mental illness access community-based care and support, drawing on his background leading engineering teams and building care management tools.
