Byeronie is a dynamic and innovative leader, deeply passionate about leveraging technology to solve complex global challenges with a focus on healthcare. She grew up in South Africa, where she confronted firsthand the limitations of the healthcare system, unreliable electricity, and unsafe public transport. These early experiences ignited her determination to make a difference and build companies that can create a positive impact. Her unique ability to “think differently” and her relentless focus on solutions have established her as a formidable leader, always pushing boundaries and seeking growth.
Byeronie co-founded and served as COO of Deep Medical Therapeutics, a digital healthcare company, and Docotela, a telemedicine platform in South Africa. Both ventures aimed to make primary healthcare more affordable and accessible through digital solutions and clinic facilities. Under her strategic leadership, they achieved product profit margins of 30-60%, a 113% monthly sales increase over 11 months, and an 18-fold return on the founders’ initial investment within six months.
Her career also includes roles as a process engineer and global project manager. Byeronie has been the liaison to the World Bank and spearheaded sustainability projects across five continents, collaborating with over 60 multinationals and managing partners who collectively generated annual revenues exceeding $2 trillion.
