Johan Hedevåg: Ex-Director of Product at Kry, Founding Partner at 4scale Ventures, Professional Poker Player
Damn, where should I start - maybe with the fact that Johan was a professional poker player and, as a medical student, would spend nights playing poker to earn some money on the side? Or with the fact that he also worked as a warehouse worker, as a nurse, and was a semi-professional soccer player?
Suffice to say, there are so many interesting things about Johan that one hour’s worth of time in the podcast only enabled us to scratch the surface. Still, I really enjoyed scratching the surface by talking to Johan for an hour and I hope that other people find our conversation similarly fun and insightful.
Johan Hedevåg is a doctor, product manager, co-founder of and advisor and investor in Healthcare companies. He also worked as a warehouse worker, as a nurse in a hospital, as a teacher and was a semi-professional soccer player and a professional poker player and coach. He is best known as being the Senior Director of Product at Kry which is a telemedicine company from Sweden. He left Kry in 2021 and has since founded his own company called 4scale Ventures. With 4scale Ventures, Johan supports companies to reach their ambitions on growth, efficiency and leadership. Concretely, they invest in companies and offer consulting and coaching.
I actually met Johan virtually when he was trying to recruit me for Kry. That recruiting obviously didn’t work, but we got along pretty well and loosely stayed in touch in the following years.
Our conversation was not limited to the typical “medical misfit” questions on why he didn’t end up working as a doctor, but we also went further and talked about Digital Health in general. If you’re interested in that, too, you should definitely tune in!
