Former Amazon Health Leader to Build a New Standard for Preventive Care in the United States

NEW YORK, March 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Neko Health announced today the appointment of Dr. Sunita Mishra as Chief Medical Officer, a key leadership addition as the company prepares to introduce its breakthrough preventive health model in the United States. As announced last month, Neko's first US location will launch in New York this Spring.

Co-founded by Hjalmar Nilsonne and Spotify founder Daniel Ek, Neko Health is a healthcare technology company focused on making proactive, data-driven care more accessible. Since opening its first clinic in Sweden in 2023, Neko has expanded to five additional clinics across the U.K. and has amassed a global waitlist of more than 300,000 people. The company combines advanced, non-invasive technology with clinical expertise to deliver fast, actionable health insights designed to detect issues early and help people make informed decisions about their health.

Dr. Mishra brings more than two decades of clinical, product and executive leadership experience, with a track record of building technology-enabled care models that meet rising consumer expectations for earlier insight, deeper engagement, and better outcomes. She joins Neko Health from Amazon Health, where she served as Chief Medical Officer, and previously held leadership roles at Providence. She is a board-certified Internist and holds an MBA from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania.

"Throughout my career, I`ve worked to advance technology-enabled care within large organizations. What makes Neko Health so compelling is the opportunity to help build a prevention-first system powered by pioneering technology and grounded in clinical rigor to help people understand their health before small concerns become serious conditions," said Dr. Mishra. "The chance to spearhead something this bold and transformative is what made this opportunity so compelling."

At Neko, Dr. Mishra will lead clinical strategy, oversee ongoing and future clinical studies, medical operations, and help advance Neko Health's mission to design and build a completely new healthcare experience.  Working closely with leadership and product teams, Dr. Mishra will support the continued development of Neko's advanced, non-invasive technologies and clinical model as they scale into new markets.

"Few leaders truly understand both how to scale clinical operations and how to build the technology that powers them. Sunita has done both. She has led large-scale care delivery and, at the same time, worked to improve the tools and products that shape the delivery of care," said Hjalmar Nilsonne, CEO and co-founder of Neko Health. "As we expand in the U.S., her ability to embed clinical rigor into the continued advancement of our technology platform will be essential to building a truly prevention-first model."

The appointment of Dr. Mishra underscores Neko Health's commitment to medical innovation and clinical rigor as it prepares to enter the U.S. market.
