Qian Qian Tang

Qian Qian Tang was in the very first cohort of Cooke Young Scholars, and it transformed her life. The experiences she’s had and the people she’s met have inspired her to change the world.

After graduating from Phillips Exeter Academy, she attended Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) as a Cooke College Scholar.

At MIT, she first became interested in the intersection of technology and healthcare. She put that interest to good use when she helped launch the healthtech company Kinsa with the idea of building the first real time map to track and stop the spread of disease.

During her time at Kinsa, Qian Qian helped launch revolutionary healthtech products from concept to market in thousands of stores nationwide, including Apple, CVS and Best Buy. One of which was an innovated version of an already commonly used household product – the thermometer.

After earning her MBA at Harvard Business School, Qian Qian now works as Vice President of Product at UnitedHealth Group.
