S13E4: Rajeev Singh

Rajeev Singh is CEO of Accolade, the Seattle-based company providing millions of people and their families with an exceptional healthcare experience that is personal, data driven and value-based, so that they can live their healthiest lives. Last month was Rajeev’s sixth anniversary at Accolade – congratulations! Prior to joining Accolade, he co-founded Concur, the global leader in travel and expense management, in 1993. Concur went public (Nasdaq: CNQR) in 1998, and grew to more than $800mm in revenue, over 4,000 employees, and more than 25,000 customers before being acquired by SAP AG for $8.3 billion in 2014. Rajeev’s desire to change the world extends into personal philanthropy as well. In March 2020, as the COVID pandemic unfolded, he rallied a group of like-minded donors to launch the #allinseattle initiative that raised funds for local organizations on the frontlines – providing food, shelter, and small business relief. The initiative raised $27 million in the first 72 hours. In 2021, as the tail end of the pandemic continues to hit countries such as India hard, Rajeev has partnered with other Seattle-area leaders to raise $10 million for Seattle for India to send crucial healthcare supplies to address the crisis.  Singh graduated from Western Michigan University with a BSE. Today, he serves on the board of directors for several Seattle headquartered companies: Avalara (Nasdaq: AVLR), a top provider of cloud-based tax compliance automation for businesses; Amperity, an intelligent customer data platform; Seattle Children’s Hospital Foundation; and the University of Washington Foundation.
