Ep.23 The more you do the more complex it gets with Joel Friedlaender

This week’s super intelligent and talented guest is the founding CEO of Cliniko, Joel Friedlaender. Joel has a background in software development and has been introduced to private practice by his partner. His partner is an Osteopath and was becoming increasingly frustrated with the practice management software options available. She suggested to Joel that he spend a few months creating some practice management software.

Jump forward to now, 7 years later where Joel is working on Cliniko full-time with a team of 25. Joel is making leaps and bounds in the transformation of an all-inclusive practice management software and running a successful business. This chat will certainly teach you something about the tech space and the future of practice management software.
