About Grace Park

A seasoned healthcare executive and entrepreneur, she brings over two decades of leadership experience across the Asia-Pacific region, including serving as Managing Director for ASEAN at Medtronic and managing large-scale global health initiatives for Bristol-Myers Squibb. Driven by a deeply personal family medical journey, she co-founded DocDoc in Singapore to eliminate opacity in healthcare and empower patients with data-driven specialist matches. Today, she is widely recognized as a thought leader in digital health transformation, purpose-driven business, and women in leadership.
Beyond her corporate achievements, Grace has a distinguished background in military service and elite athletics. She began her career as a military intelligence officer and Captain in the United States Army after graduating from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. A Fulbright Scholar, she also holds an MBA from Harvard Business School and an MPA from the Harvard Kennedy School of Government. Her commitment to excellence extends to martial arts, where she is a four-time All-American National Judo Champion and a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu blue belt world champion.
About Cole Sirucek
Cole Sirucek is the co-founder and CEO of DocDoc, where he leads the platform’s strategic vision and technology integration. He has spent over twenty years launching, investing in, and scaling businesses, including seven years on the direct investment team at Temasek Holdings, where he handled over US$500 million in technology and media transactions. Experiencing the medical system firsthand as a family revealed a massive lack of data transparency, driving him and Grace to start DocDoc to help families make objective, informed choices about their healthcare.
Originally from Idaho, Cole earned an MPA from the Harvard Kennedy School and an MBA from the MIT Sloan School of Management. He has been building ventures in Asia for years, previously co-founding Pluto Networks and the EPIC MMA Club in Hong Kong, and serving as an Entrepreneur-in-Residence at INSEAD. Cole shares his wife’s passion for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and is a regular speaker at regional tech conferences, talking about AI, healthcare economics, and what it is really like to run a fast-growing business alongside your spouse.
