Summary

Founder and operator focused on AI for healthcare — Sneh has founded/led multiple startups (Delfino AI; Be Golden) and runs product and GTM for companies that sit at the intersection of AI and health. Delfino automates repetitive payer/provider phone work with generative/voice AI; Be Golden focuses on measuring and managing inflammation with at‑home biomarkers and digital tracking. delfino+2
Clinical and technical credibility — Sneh trained as a pharmacist (Pharm.D., UIC) and co‑authored peer‑reviewed research, then completed an MBA at Harvard Business School. That combination (clinical domain knowledge + business training) appears to inform product choices that bridge lab‑grade biomarkers and consumer‑facing digital products. nih+2
Operator with strategy and growth experience — prior senior roles include management consulting (Engagement Manager at McKinsey) and consumer CPG brand management (Procter & Gamble), giving her experience in strategy, GTM and brand/marketing that she has applied to early startup growth. ycombinator+2
Personal mission drives product focus — Sneh's public founder narrative mentions a personal health experience (high breast‑cancer risk and lumpectomy) and a desire to better track and act on inflammation/immune fitness; that lived experience motivated building Be Golden and shapes the company's user‑facing storytelling. ycombinator+1
