Noah Perin led the Maternal Health Technology portfolio at the global health NGO PATH, championing the development and commercialization of products such as the Ellavi UBT for postpartum hemorrhage and LifeWrap NASG for treating shock. Noah has an MBA and MPP from Duke University.

As Commercialization Officer for the Seattle global health non-profit PATH, Noah Perin observed a big gap in the worldwide healthcare market. Medical professionals in developing countries didn’t have access to innovative products, and innovators were struggling to sell their devices in new markets.

He decided to create a solution, a global platform that would function “like the Amazon of the medical supply world.”

Perin founded VIA Global Health in April 2015 with Brendan Lilly, a business development and technology exec who previously worked on the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Appropriations. VIA Global Health connects healthcare equipment suppliers with distributors around the world to make it easier for underserved regions to access the quality products.
