Katie D’Amico
Vice President of Growth & Innovation, CareQuest Innovation Partners

As VP of CareQuest Innovation Partners, the for-profit arm of the world’s largest oral health non-profit (CareQuest Institute for Oral Health), Katie advances the mission of improving oral health for all through identifying, validating, and scaling innovation and integration across the health ecosystem.

She accomplishes this through impact investing, Board advisory, accelerator programs including SMILE Health, piloting new programs/ solutions with mission-aligned partners, and conducting clinical studies to derive critical proof points to catalyze change.

Formerly a leader of Deloitte Consulting’s healthcare practice (~$15B US revenue with 25.5% growth in 2022), she has over a decade of experience partnering with large health plans, health systems, and emerging health players including retail, consumer products, technology, and startup companies to design, pilot, and scale innovative solutions for millions of consumers.

She brings a global perspective and network from her experience in Israel, Australia, India, and Korea, building operations, partnerships, and AI & data capabilities. She is a frequent author and speaker on the future of health, oral health innovation, global ecosystems, women+ health, and business model strategy.

Katie holds an MBA from the University of Chicago Booth and a Bachelor of Science in Finance from the University of Illinois Champaign-Urbana. She is deeply involved in the Chicagoland community, including engagement with local incubators, universities, and the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) for over 20 years.
