Michael Gorton

A quintessential entrepreneur, mentor, and company builder, Michael leads the Recuro Health team which includes several leaders from Teladoc, where he served as the founding CEO and pioneered an industry-changing health care model that created a new efficiency paradigm in healthcare by delivering physicians to patients nationwide in under 12 minutes for $35.

Gorton ran Teladoc as CEO and Chairman for the first seven years of operations. Under his term, the company grew from a concept to one of the most recognized innovations in healthcare, with nearly two million patient members nationwide. Under the Teladoc model, physicians made more, and patients paid less.

Teladoc recently entered the NYSE and now has a market cap of over $30B.

Michael’s decades of experience as a strategic visionary, impacting the telecommunications, music, and healthcare industries include a leadership role as a founder of Principal Solar where he applied his business expertise, scientific education, and training to the renewable energy sector -- a strong voice and proponent of solar power.
