Ritesh Patel

Chief Digital Officer - Health
Ogilvy
New York, New York, United States

I have been evangelizing digital since the early days of the dot com boom in the late 1990's. As a young man, I joined Agency.com and quickly began to consult with major fortune 500 companies to evangelize the merits of the World Wide Web.

Along the way, I have worked for the likes of Havas and Cushman & Wakefield and began a deep dive into the healthcare arena in 2009 when I joined Inventiv Health as Head of Digital & innovation There I pioneered the use of the emerging social media platforms, winning a Clio award in 2010 for the Novartis Tobi Facebook page under the category of “Best Use of Social Media in 2010” for that work. Then in 2011 came the digital and social ecosystem for DRIVE4COPD, a highly successful campaign for Boeringher Ingelheim to raise awareness of COPD.

I joined Ogilvy in 2014 as Chief Digital officer for the Health Group where I consult with our clients on digital health, digital therapeutics, digital transformation and innovation in the healthcare arena globally. I am an outspoken digital evangelist and am passionate about educating my peers and our clients about what the future of digital looks like for health and speaks at a wide variety of digital and healthcare-centered events across the world.
