Alsaleh’s expertise in venture capital, strategic partnerships, and technology will help us continue to accelerate progress for children with cancer.
CureSearch for Children’s Cancer is pleased to welcome Osama Alsaleh to our Board of Directors. A healthcare leader with extensive experience in innovation, venture capital partnerships, health equity, philanthropy, and technology, Alsaleh joins the board with a shared commitment to accelerating new and better treatments for children with cancer.
As Head of Partnerships at Plug and Play Health, a leading global innovation platform and the most active venture capital firm globally, Alsaleh is committed to advancing
global healthcare solutions and key collaborations across the industry.
His career spans healthcare IT, strategic partnerships, regulatory collaboration, and global health initiatives. Alsaleh spearheaded the creation of Oracle’s health equity team, shaping transformative strategies for social determinants of health, accessibility, and more. Earlier in his career at Oracle Health, Alsaleh contributed to the evaluation and allocation of more than $42 million in healthcare grants through the Oracle Charitable Foundation Clinical Decision Committee.
His expertise extends to regulatory compliance, having advised on quality reporting measures and collaborated with industry leaders on CMS initiatives, the White House Covid-19 Taskforce, and US State Department. As a global advocate for sustainable solutions, he brings a wealth of experience and a track record of strategic planning,
partnership development, and convening leaders across healthcare, technology, and investment to drive meaningful progress, spanning leading organizations such as the World Bank Group, World Health Organization, Cerner, Oracle and now Plug and Play.
“Throughout my work, I have consistently observed that innovations focused on pediatrics, particularly pediatric oncology, remain significantly underfunded and underrepresented within mainstream venture capital and innovation ecosystems,” said Alsaleh. “By leveraging my network across venture capital, startups, healthcare institutions, and technology companies, I aim to help attract new technologies, strategic partners, and resources that can accelerate progress toward cures for children with cancer.”
“Osama brings a unique and highly valuable perspective to CureSearch. His ability to connect innovation, investment, and healthcare will help expand our reach and unlock new opportunities to advance critical research for children with cancer. We are excited to have him join the board at this important time for our organization,” said Jared Brancazio, Chair of CureSearch’s Board of Directors.
Please join us in welcoming Osama Alsaleh to CureSearch.
