The people who started it.
Longitude Health began with a conviction that health systems could build together what none could build apart. This page remembers the people who made that case first.
Built to carry a bold idea forward.
Paul Mango built Longitude Health from nothing — the idea, the structure, the people, and the belief that health systems could solve together what none of them could solve alone. He didn't want to improve the existing model. He wanted to leapfrog it entirely.
His path to Longitude ran through West Point and Harvard Business School, 20 years leading McKinsey's global healthcare practice, and the upper reaches of HHS and CMS. When COVID hit, he served as the formal liaison to Operation Warp Speed — at the center of the most consequential public-private partnership since World War II, helping get 1.6 million Americans vaccinated every day.
He brought that same intensity to Longitude. Paul moved fast, held high standards, and had no patience for pretense. He recruited talented people, pushed the best ideas forward, and left a structure built to outlast him.
Paul Mango passed away in early 2025. His vision is in everything Longitude is building.
"He was quite simply one of the finest human beings I've ever known — a servant leader in every respect, never seeking personal fame or glory, only caring about the team and the result."
"Because of his instrumental leadership during our founding, Longitude Health's members and initiatives are positioned for a successful path forward."
