Michael Gorton

Michael Gorton is the co-founder of Teladoc — the company that pioneered telemedicine and reshaped how millions of people access healthcare. What began as an idea about removing distance from the doctor’s appointment became one of the defining health technology businesses of the modern era.

A 17-time serial entrepreneur, Michael has built and led companies across healthcare, energy, technology and media. He currently serves as CEO of Plotsy.tv. His background spans science, engineering and law — he holds degrees in physics and engineering alongside a Juris Doctor — giving him an unusually wide lens on how industries actually get disrupted.

Michael is also an award-winning and #1 bestselling author, writing across both business and fiction. He speaks internationally on entrepreneurship, innovation and the future of healthcare, drawing on four decades of building companies from first principles.

At Peak Vitality Global Summit, Michael sits down live with executive producer Jeff Ross for a conversation on health innovation, longevity and what it takes to build something that outlasts you.
