General Catalyst differentiates itself by including established companies in their portfolio, tackling problems holistically and having an appetite for long-term, multi-year commitments. One of their guiding principles includes building deep relationships while, simply, listening. And it’s working; their approach is affecting major change in the healthcare technology sphere. Chitra Nawbatt is the Global Head of Health Assurance Partnerships at General Catalyst, a global venture capital firm. Chitra leads strategic partnerships in the expansion and execution of the firm's Health Assurance mission to make quality healthcare more affordable and accessible.

She is a graduate of Harvard Business School and the University of Toronto.
