It has been a great honor to serve in the role of CEO Medic for the past 11 years. My approach has been to recruit people smarter than me, equip them with the resources they need to do inspired work for others, and make sure everyone involved could focus on our shared mission.
Today, I am writing with news that it is time for me to transition out of my role as CEO of Medic. This is a hard path, and also the right one. While the decision weighed on me heavily, I know it will set up the organization and our open source community to keep growing and flourishing. You can read more about the transition on Medic’s blog here: http://medicmobile.org/blog/reflections-and-an-announcement-from-josh-nesbit. I know you’ll hear more from the Medic team in the coming months.
Launching the CHT forum was a key moment in our effort to get more great people involved in this movement, and it was inspiring to see the forum pass 500 members last month. I look forward to continuing to contribute here!
So many of you – advisors, teammates, friends, family, colleagues caring for your neighbors – have stretched and grown with me. I am grateful for every effort and the solidarity I have witnessed and felt. Truly, this work has given me windows into the best of humanity. Thank you.
It’s been a gift working with you these many years Josh, and the outpouring of love on Twitter signals how many people have appreciated working with you. Thank you for the years of effort, for making this transition at a good time and handling it thoughtfully. I know your immense hope for the future is widely shared in the CHT community
