Quotes from Tandem Leadership
“At Tandem, we believe every pet deserves a healthy, vibrant life. By bridging different silos of veterinary care, we’re delivering high-quality care that lets pets truly thrive—not just survive,” says Prem Sharma, CEO, a serial healthcare entrepreneur. “We are leveraging our experience in building large-scale, high-impact healthcare systems to enhance pet healthcare. An integrated healthcare experience not only improves the lives of pets and their parents but also eases the work of veterinary care providers.”
“Improving pet healthcare isn’t just about better care for animals—it’s about creating a smarter, more sustainable work environment that empowers veterinarians, reduces burnout, and attracts the best talent to drive the future of veterinary medicine,” says Dr. Khalid Aljabri, Co-founder, a medical doctor and serial entrepreneur. Khalid also believes innovation in veterinary healthcare can be extrapolated to human healthcare: “The drugs I prescribe to my patients and most of the devices I use in my procedures are initially tested on animals. So, why can’t we fix the broken human healthcare system by establishing a successful animal healthcare model?”
Why This Matters
With over 70% of U.S. households owning pets and veterinary burnout at crisis levels, the need for innovative pet healthcare solutions has never been greater. Tandem’s integrated approach ensures better care for pets while reducing strain on veterinarians.
