With over 20 years in healthcare technology, Bret Koncak's expertise was honed during his tenure as an executive at Cerner (now Oracle Cerner), a renowned healthcare IT organization. His role frequently placed him in the midst of healthcare practitioners from esteemed doctors to dedicated nurses and strategic administrators providing him with a comprehensive understanding of the healthcare landscape. Yet, it was his personal journey as a caregiver, navigating the challenges of his two sons' sudden and severe rare diseases, that truly transformed his perspective. This firsthand experience highlighted the gaps in tools purpose-built for parents and caregivers like him, leading him to co-found mejo alongside his co-founder and fellow rare disease dad, Ryan Sheedy. Bret lives in Prairie Village, KS with his wife Julee, and their children, Josie, Logan, & Camden.
