Here are some ways I can support you.
After 15 years of building a portfolio career at the intersection of clinical care, healthcare leadership, education, entrepreneurship, and digital health innovation, I am passionate about using my skills to empower clinicians and improve patient outcomes.
I help:
Founders and teams building digital health solutions with clinical, product, and growth strategy. Learn more at Theratactix.
SLPs and clinicians ready to expand their careers beyond the traditional clinical path.
Individuals and families navigating communication, cognitive, and swallowing challenges who need expert guidance.
If any of these sound like you, I’d love to connect and explore how I can support you.
How We Can Work Together
FOR Founders: Digital Health Consulting
The most successful healthcare innovations are built with clinical strategy at their foundation. I partner with digital health founders and teams to bring valuable clinical expertise to your product and growth strategy, go-to-market planning, and business development needs.
With over 15 years of frontline clinical experience and years of advising healthtech teams, I help companies build and scale solutions that are not just technically sound, but clinically relevant — both, for the clinicians delivering care and for the patients receiving it.
FOR SLPs: Non-Clinical CAREEr TRANSITION SUPPORT
You have the training and clinical experience. What you need is clarity on what else you can do with your expertise and a structured way to get there.
I help speech-language pathologists explore what's possible beyond the traditional clinical path. Whether you're drawn to education, research, consulting, leadership, or entrepreneurship, we'll create a personalized roadmap that fits your skills, values, and season of life — without starting over or risking everything you've built.
About me
Hello! My Name is Dr. Rinki Varindani Desai
I am a medical speech-language pathologist, educator, and entrepreneur — and for the better part of 15 years, I have been designing a career that looked nothing like the traditional SLP path. I believe there is so much more we can do with our clinical degrees and so many ways we can scale our impact as clinicians across roles and industries.
I've worked at the bedside, founded and scaled two companies to seven figures, created apps, built a consulting practice, trained thousands of students and clinicians around the world, and raised a family along the way. I've also faced career setbacks and uncertainties and found my own way through it, by focusing my energy on the problems I cared deeply about solving.
Whether you're a clinician ready to explore what's next in your journey, or an organization that needs a trusted clinical strategist, I would love to be part of what comes next for you. Let’s talk.
