Robin Farmanfarmaian Bio


Robin Farmanfarmaian is a healthcare entrepreneur and keynote speaker who helps executive audiences cut through the noise around artificial intelligence and understand what actually matters for decision-makers today.
With decades of experience working at the intersection of healthcare, technology, and innovation, Robin brings a rare operator’s perspective to the stage: translating complex AI concepts into clear, practical insights leaders can immediately apply. Her keynotes focus on distinguishing AI that merely sounds impressive from AI that truly works in real-world healthcare environments.

Robin speaks frequently to healthcare systems, industry associations, executive retreats, and global conferences, where she is known for her ability to engage both technical and non-technical audiences without oversimplifying the issues. Her talks provide leaders with the language, mental models, and confidence they need to navigate rapid technological change without being distracted by hype.

She is a sought-after voice on emerging healthcare technologies, the future of care delivery, and how organizations can responsibly adopt innovation while staying focused on outcomes that matter.

With over 225 keynotes in 16 countries, she educates audiences on many aspects of technology intersecting healthcare, including artificial intelligence, longevity, and the shift in healthcare delivery to the patient’s home. Previous keynote clients include UnitedHealthcare, Roche, P&G, Kaiser, BCBS, Verily, Abbott, Boston Scientific, Humana, Takeda, Stanford Hospital, Harvard’s Mass General Hospital, ARPA-H, and The White House.
