Leoard Kish MBA, MSIS, MS in Biomedical

Leonard Kish is a Co-Founder and Chief Product Officer at BLDX.io and BLDX, Inc., where he is pioneering the use of distributed data and artificial intelligence to unlock verifiable insights into the history of the built environment. With 25 years of experience as a product manager and executive in telecommunications, healthcare, and distributed systems, Leonard has established himself as a visionary leader at the intersection of technology and real-world assets. Holding an MBA/MSIS and an MS in Biomedical Sciences from the University of Colorado, Leonard's background in neuroscience and digital health has positioned him as an early advocate for patient-centric data ownership—a perspective that has been widely recognized. He has been featured in Forbes, quoted by the CTO of HHS and the USA on patient-centric healthcare, and authored an article in Nature Biotech on patient-centric Health IT. Today, Leonard is channeling his experience into the realm of "building-owned data." His work is focused on creating secure, distributed data resources that comprehensively document the histories of buildings, eliminating blind spots for owners, general contractors, and underwriters. He believes that anchoring intelligent software and AI in data centered on people and tangible assets is the key to unlocking smarter risk management, enhanced safety, reduced costs, and improved energy efficiency. At this conference, Leonard will share his insights on how the convergence of distributed data, AI, and the built environment is set to transform industries, paving the way for more resilient, informed, and sustainable communities."
