Josh Robb

Josh Robb is co-founder and Chief Operating Officer of Tend, a vertically integrated primary care provider operating medical centres across New Zealand, with its own PHO and a clinical platform built in-house. Josh also chairs the board of Arataki PHO.

​

 Josh leads Tend's operations, technology and AI programme. His focus is on building a healthcare ecosystem designed around the patient: convenient access to the right care first time, tools that let people take control of their own health, and less administrative burden on the primary care workforce.

​

 Josh has demonstrated that digital access should be judged on whether it reaches the patients who currently get the least, and holds his teams to it: the software they have built has lifted access for Māori, Pacific peoples and patients in higher deprivation areas.

​

 Before Tend, Josh spent more than 20 years leading engineering, data science and design teams, most recently as SVP of Product and Engineering at Pushpay.
