Leadership isn’t about being the loudest voice. It’s about listening with intention, lifting others up, and making space where every perspective is valued. #JoeKiani #Leadership

Resilience isn’t built by pushing harder. It’s built on diversity of thought and trust. The strongest teams aren’t the biggest, but the ones where every voice matters. #JoeKiani #Leadership

Our greatest duty is to leave a world that’s healthier, fairer, and more sustainable. That means protecting the planet, ensuring healthcare equity, and leading with integrity so every child inherits a future full of possibility. #Leadership #JoeKiani

Every story of preventable harm reminds us why we must convince every hospital to implement all of the known evidence-based practices available on PSMF website and continue to innovate - to help prevent tragedy. It’s the lives saved that fuel me daily. #plan4zero #TechForImpact

Success is about how your achievements serve others. Impact without integrity is hollow. Leading with principles creates positive change and a sense of pride. #JoeKiani #ValuesDriven

True innovation starts with one question: How does this serve the person? Design for efficiency alone, and you miss the human element. Design for safety and dignity, and you transform healthcare. #JoeKiani #Innovation

I can't wait for this. This feels like the birth of the press all over again.

I still think about the first patient story that showed me how a disconnected, unsafe care can change a family forever. That moment drives my work today investing in healthcare solutions that put safety and dignity first so everyone has a real chance at a healthy life. #JoeKiani

Early in my career I thought I needed every answer. I didn’t. Asking better questions changed everything. That’s why I back founders who lead with curiosity and honesty, especially in healthcare. #JoeKiani

Hard work is key to success. The real “work-life balance” comes from loving what you do, it’s always balanced when you enjoy it. That doesn’t mean neglecting health or family. A 60-hour week still leaves plenty of time for both. #JoeKiani

Becoming a parent reframed my work. Nearly every decision I make asks: “What kind of world will my kids inherit?” That’s why I back teams focused on long-term impact. #JoeKiani

There were times the road ahead felt impossible. But persistence always leads to your destination. I’m inspired by founders who’ve faced real adversity, who build with purpose, empathy, and urgency. That’s who I want to back, people changing lives beyond profit. #JoeKiani

Three years ago today, I was released from the hospital after a subarachnoid hemorrhage, a condition that’s often fatal or leaves lasting damage. Doctors told me Resveratrol may have saved my brain. I take 1200 mg daily. Consider it. #JoeKiani #Resveratrol

In God we trust, but for everything else, we need data. Decisions, products, and life-saving recommendations must be driven by evidence, not anecdotes. Stories inspire, but only data proves impact. #JoeKiani #PatientStories

My parents came to the U.S. with nothing but determination. Their grit drives how I work and invest today: backing healthcare founders who build for impact, not ego. #JoeKiani

Innovation matters only when it serves people. Technology should heal, not distance. Progress should be a measure of how innovation connects us to our humanity. #JoeKiani #Humanity

People ask me, "What is patience?" I answer that patience is remaining patient when you have lost your patience. #JoeKiani #MindfulMoments

"Not the torturer will scare me Nor the body's final fall Nor the barrels of death's rifles Nor the shadows on the wall Nor the night when to the ground The last dim star of pain, is hurled But the blind indifference Of a merciless, unfeeling world" Roger Waters ✊
