General manager of the Amazon Clinic, Nworah Ayogu is focused on using technology to deliver effective, affordable, and equitable health care.  Previously he was founding medical director of CityBlock Health, a start-up delivering holistic care to vulnerable populations.

As the Harvard Crimson reported in naming Ayogu one of the 15 most interesting seniors in 2010, Ayogu’s extracurriculars included: “First Class Marshall, Political Action Chair for the Black Men’s Forum (BMF), Chair of the Harvard Foundation for Intercultural and Race Relations, First-Year Urban Program Leader, and Institute of Politics Fellow. He has also stepped with the BMF, danced in Ghungroo, directed Cultural Rhythms, mentored high school students, and served on the Undergraduate Council, among other things.” At Harvard Medical School, he was president of his class and an Adams House tutor.

Responding to the Diversity Questionnaire, Ayogu wrote: “Educating students who will create [] a more just and equitable world is Harvard’s core mission and thus it’s top priority.”

“I’m driven by a desire to help people live healthier, happier lives and to help organizations navigate and embrace change,” he writes in his HAA ballot statement. “Harvard must continue to produce new knowledge and sit at the center of innovation, create a diverse and safe community where students can be challenged and challenge each other, and cultivate a sense of purpose and commitment to justice.”
