Meet Our Leadership Team

Matt Pestritto
CTO
Our Story
Matt and David, both the sons of pharmacists, have been healthcare industry insiders since their teens. They met in the summer of 2015.
Matt was coming off of a successful run as the first engineer and CTO at Plated, a meal delivery kit company. David, with a background in private equity and rescuing troubled businesses, had just discovered through personal experience how reliance on old technology and the resulting latency in the DME industry is hurting patients.
Together, Matt and David started Parachute Health, and so began their mission to change the healthcare industry for the better. Together, they’ve built a company whose ultimate mission is to improve the lives of patients, while also reducing waste, increasing efficiency, and helping overworked healthcare providers and administrators become more effective and less overwhelmed.
Our Vision
Parachute exists to revolutionize healthcare through seamless ordering in a simple user interface and empower both providers and administrators with the tools they need to improve patient outcomes.
Our Mission
Through online connectivity and excellence in user design, Parachute Health builds cutting edge technology to simplify DME ordering and ensure that healthcare providers, patients, and caregivers have the necessary systems and support they need to focus on what matters most: helping human beings get -- and stay -- well.
